Making and Validating the Parafilia Questionnaire on Iranian Men

This research was a preliminary study on the development of a tool for measuring paraphysic deviations among a sample of Tehran men. The sample consists of 200 men from Tehran who were referred to a clinic in Tehran for treatment of their sexual problems. After selecting a sample that was purposefully selected, the clients in addition to the main questionnaire of the research, the Sexual Deviation Questionnaire, responded to sexual desire and sexuality questionnaires. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the gender deviation questionnaire developed by the researchers in accordance with the DSM-V classification has a 6-factor structure. The validity and validity of this questionnaire were examined in the current research. The results of the study indicated that the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were acceptable. In this preliminary study, the norms of the questionnaire were obtained. In general, the results of the current research are a preliminary study to validate and standardize the gender deviance questionnaire, which requires future research to strengthen validity and validity, as well as the norms of the questionnaire, in order to use more reliable questionnaires in research and therapeutic applications
