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.
Correlate Attitudes Toward LGBT and Sexism in Spanish Psychology Students
(Frontiers, 2020) López-Sáez, Miguel Ángel; García-Dauder, Dau; Montero, Ignacio
The present study evaluates the correlations between sexism, homonegativity, binegativity, pro-trans attitudes, political affiliation, contact with LGBT individuals and perceived stigma among psychology students. A study was conducted with 655 cis women (471 heterosexuals, 179 bisexuals and lesbians) and 174 cis men (120 heterosexuals, 54 bisexuals and gays). Descriptive, multivariate analysis of variance, bivariate correlations and multiple regression were used. In general, the groups of men and heterosexuals obtained higher negativity scores and lower acceptance scores, with significant correlations being more frequent in the heterosexual group. Predictive models confirmed the literature on social and ideological conservatism.
Intersections around ambivalent sexism: internalized homonegativity, resistance to heteronormativity and other correlates
(Frontiers, 2020) López-Sáez, Miguel Ángel; García-Dauder, Dau; Montero, Ignacio
This article explores the connections between the construct of sexism and other sociodemographic and attitudinal variables, such as internalized homonegativity and heteronormative resistances, among psychology students. Both unrefined and inferential analyses were used with a representative sample of 841 psychology students from public universities in Madrid. Results showed higher levels of sexism, internalized homonegativity and low resistances to heteronormativity among groups of men, heterosexuals and conservatives. Interactions were found that showed a higher degree of hostile sexism in: heterosexual people with respect to LGB and heterosexual men with respect to heterosexual women. Also, interactions were found to show a greater degree of heteronormative resistance in: LGB people with respect to heterosexuals and left-wing women with respect to right-wing women. Correlations with sexism varied according to gender identity and sexual orientation. In addition, heteronormative resistances correlated negatively with sexism, while some components of internalized homonegativity correlated positively. Political affiliation was the most frequent predictor of sexism. The results highlight the need for an intersectional approach to understanding the phenomenon of sexism.
