Validation of the Dutch Sensory Gating Inventory (D-SGI):Psychometric properties and a Confirmatory factor analysis

The Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI) is an established self-report questionnaire that is used to assess the capacity for filtering redundant or irrelevant environmental stimuli. Translation and cross-cultural validation of the SGI are necessary to make this tool available to Dutch speaking populations. This study, therefore, aimed to design and validate a Dutch Sensory Gating Inventory (D-SGI). To this end, a forward-backward translation was performed and 469 native Dutch speakers filled in the questionnaire. A confirmatory factor analysis assessed the psychometric properties of the D-SGI.

The Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI) is an established self-report questionnaire that is used to assess the capacity for filtering redundant or irrelevant environmental stimuli. Translation and cross-cultural validation of the SGI are necessary to make this tool available to Dutch speaking populations. This study, therefore, aimed to design and validate a Dutch Sensory Gating Inventory (D-SGI). To this end, a forward-backward translation was performed and 469 native Dutch speakers filled in the questionnaire. A confirmatory factor analysis assessed the psychometric properties of the D-SGI. Additionally, test-retest reliability was measured. Results confirmed satisfactory similarity between the original English SGI and the D-SGI in terms of psychometric properties for the factor structure. Internal consistency and discriminant validity were also satisfactory. Overall test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.91, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.87-0.93]). These findings confirm that the D-SGI is a psychometrically sound self-report measure that allows assessing the phenomenological dimensions of sensory gating in Dutch. Moreover, the D-SGI is publicly available. This establishes the D-SGI as a new tool for the assessment of sensory gating dimensions in general- and clinical Dutch speaking populations.
