Adaptation and validation of the evasive attitudes of sexual orientation scale into Spanish
(Taylor and Francis, 2021) López-Sáez, Miguel Ángel; García-Dauder, Dau; Montero, Ignacio; Lecuona, Óscar
This article presents an instrumental study to validate the adaptation of the Evasive Attitudes of Sexual Orientation Scale (EASOS) to Spanish. This instrument has been shown to be useful in detecting the potential lack of awareness about the situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) people among psychology professionals and its possible relationship to contemporary homonegative attitudes. The 596 heterosexual psychology students who participated were given an adaptation into Spanish (back translation). A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to study the fit to the factorial structure of the original scale (aversive heterosexism, institutional heterosexism, and heterosexual privilege). The internal consistency of the subscales was adequate (.70-.83). The convergent validity showed positive correlations and significant predictive levels between the EASOS and various attitudinal scales and sociodemographic variables. The findings offer evidence that the EASOS is an adequate instrument to evaluate LGBQ-negativity, particularly in the field of psychosocial intervention.
Adaptation and validation of the LGBQ Ally Identity Measure (Adaptacion y validacion de la Medida de Identificacion Aliada LGBQ)
(Taylor and Francis, 2022) López-Sáez, Miguel Ángel; García-Dauder, Dau; Montero, Ignacio; Lecuona, Óscar
Abstract This article provides evidence on the reliability and validity of the Spanish adaptation of the Ally Identity Measure (AIM). This instrument is believed to be useful for psychosocial professionals and educational trainees to analyse the degree of commitment and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer (LGBQ) people. The sample of this study comprised 223 heterosexual psychology students who participated by completing the Spanish adaptation of the instrument. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to study its fit to the factor structure of the original scale (knowledge and skills, openness and support, and awareness of oppression). The internal consistency of the subscales was adequate (.85 – .86). Convergent validity showed significant correlations and predictive levels with different attitudinal and socio-demographic variables. We have concluded that the AIM is an accurate instrument to assess allied attitudes towards the LGBQ community. RESUMEN En el artículo se proporciona evidencia sobre la fiabilidad y validez de la adaptación al español de la Medida de Identificación Aliada (MIA). Este instrumento se considera útil para conocer el grado de compromiso y apoyo con las personas lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y queer (LGBQ) entre profesionales psicosociales y educativos en formación. 223 estudiantes de psicología heterosexuales participaron completando la adaptación al español del instrumento. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio para estudiar su ajuste a la estructura factorial de la escala original (conocimientos y aptitudes, apertura y apoyo y conciencia de la opresión). La consistencia interna de las subescalas fue adecuada (.81 – .86). La validez convergente mostró correlaciones y niveles predictivos significativos con diferentes variables actitudinales y sociodemográficas. En conclusión, MIA resulta un instrumento preciso para evaluar las actitudes aliadas con lo LGBQ.
The Adaptation and Validation of the Trans Attitudes and Beliefs Scale to the Spanish Context
(MDPI, 2022) López-Sáez, Miguel Ángel; Angulo-Brunet, Ariadna; Platero, Lucas; Lecuona, Óscar
This article examines the reliability and validity of the adaptation of the Trans Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (TABS), an instrument capable of detecting transphobic positions, to the Spanish context. A total of 829 psychology students participated in the adaptation procedure. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to study the fit of the new scale to the factor structure of the original scale (interpersonal comfort, gender identity beliefs, and human value). Convergent validity evidence showed significant correlations and predictive levels with different constructs and sociodemographic variables. The internal consistency of the mean scores was adequate at the global level. The study showed that the TABS is a psychometrically sound instrument for the assessment of attitudes toward trans people, particularly in the context of debates over access to rights and the lack of professional training in disciplines such as psychology.
