“…Además, es necesario recordar que el instrumento de evaluación de la asertividad sexual empleado por Apt y Hurlbert (1993) fue el Hurlbert Index of Sexual Assertiveness, que está compuesto por ítems que evalúan tanto inicio como rechazo de la actividad sexual (Santos-Iglesias y Sierra, 2010b), exactamente las dos dimensiones en las que se encuentra la relación en el presente estudio. Este resultado es significativo, además, porque existen estudios previos que demuestran la asociación entre el abuso no físico y la ausencia de asertividad sexual (Santos Iglesias, Sierra, y Vallejo-Medina, 2012). Por último, también se encuentra una relación negativa entre el control de conductas y la falta de asertividad para el uso de métodos anticonceptivos.…”

ResumenEl objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar algunas propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del Index of Spouse Abuse en una muestra de varones españoles, ya que no existen instrumentos validados en España en esta población. Participaron 598 varones con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 77 años (M = 40.20; DT = 13.71) seleccionados de la población general mediante muestreo incidental. Los resultados mostraron una estructura de 30 ítems agrupados en tres subescalas: Abuso no físico, Control de conductas y Abuso físico. Los valores de fiabilidad oscilaron entre .60 y .81. Mostró buena validez convergente con las puntuaciones de la Sexual Assertiveness Scale. Se encontró que las conductas de abuso más frecuentes son de abuso no físico y control de conductas, siendo el abuso físico menos frecuente. Se discuten los resultados obtenidos y sus implicaciones para la evaluación de la violencia de pareja en varones. Palabras clave: Index of Spouse Abuse, propiedades psicométricas, varones, violencia de pareja. AbstractThe aim of the presente study was to analyze some psychometric properties of the Index of Spouse Abuse in a Spanish male sample, because there are no adapted instruments in Spain for this population. Participants were 598 males with ages ranging from 18 to 77 years old (M = 40.20; SD = 13.71), and they were selected from general population through a convenience sampling procedure. Results showed a structure made up of 30 items clustered into three subscales: Nonphysical abuse, Behavior controlling, and Physical abuse. Reliability values ranged from .60 to .81. It showed good convergent validity with scores on the Sexual Assertiveness Scale. Further, it was found that nonphysical abuse and behavior controlling were the most frequent form of abuse, while physical abuse was less frequent. Results and their implications for the assessment of partner abuse are discussed.

“…Despite the adaptation problem that was mitigated in the middle of the evaluation, overall psychometric properties of the scale are good with a consistence similar to that observed in the original version (Morokoff et al, 1997), the Spanish version (Sierra et al, 2011) or others (Santos-Iglesias & Sierra, 2010). In addition, there was also enough external validity of the SAS with its respective relations, as observed before (HaavioMannila, & Kontula, 1997;Hurlbert, Singh, Menendez, Fertel, Fernández, & Salgado, 2005;Ménard & Offman, 2009);Santos-Iglesias, & Sierra, 2010;Santos-Iglesias, Sierra & Vallejo-Medina, 2013). In turn, this would be an indicator of an adaptation process.…”

Abstractthe adaptation of a test from a language into that same language in another culture is common; however, there are no clear guidelines for this process. the objective was to adapt a protocol providing some guidelines for adapting questionnaires from one language to the same language. a total of eight experts supported the adaption process and 825 participants from spain and colombia were evaluated in this study. participants answered the brief version of the sexual assertiveness scale, the sexual opinion survey, the Massachusetts general Hospital-sexual Functioning Questionnaire and the sexuality scale. the adaptation was made following some guidelines which have already been published. the results showed a strong partial invariance between countries. DiF analysis also replied this partial invariant form and adequate psychometric properties; guidelines to adapt questionnaires into same language in other cultures are presented. therefore, the adaptation process -in the absence of further evidence -could be effective. Keywords: Sexual assertiveness, psychometry, guidelines, adaptation, same language scales. ResumenLa adaptación de test dentro de una misma lengua en varias culturas diferentes es común; sin embargo, no existen guías claras para realizar este proceso. El objetivo fue adaptar un protocolo generando unas guías para adaptar cuestionarios dentro de una misma lengua. Un total de ocho expertos realizaron el proceso de adaptación y 825 participantes de España y Colombia fueron evaluados en este estudio. Todos ellos contestaron a la versión breve de la Sexual Assertiveness Scale, la Sexual Opinion Survey, la Massachusetts General Hospital-Sexual Functioning Questionnaire y la Sexuality Scale. La adaptación se realizó siguiendo las directrices de algunas guías ya publicadas. Los resultados mostraron una invarianza fuerte entre los dos países. Estos hallazgos fueron replicados mediante DIF, además se observaron adecuadas propiedades psicométricas, finalmente las guías para el proceso de adaptación han sido presentadas. Por lo que concluimos que el proceso de adaptación -en ausencia de más evidencia-podría ser efectivo. Palabras clave: asertividad sexual, psicometría, guía, adaptación, escalas mismo idioma.

“…As asymptotically distribution free (ADF) estimation is recommended for usage in case of non-normal distribution, a more accurate estimation was expected for ADF. This opposes the widespread tendency to use maximum likelihood estimation in many analyses [31, 61, 62]. …”

The construct of sexual openness for females in steady intimate relationships

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The analysis of open-minded attitudes towards sexuality in general requires a construct based on attitudinal dimensions. Although several existing studies involve sexual attitudes, they differ substantially and standardized conceptual work is missing. Thus, the authors introduce the latent variable sexual openness to develop a construct based on self-oriented attitudes towards different sexual topics. Available survey data of female German students in a steady relationship allowed providing a first empirical test for the applicability of this construct. Five subdimensions are acknowledged central for sexual openness: sexual practices, masturbation, bisexuality, permissiveness, and pornography consumption. Confirmatory factor analysis and correlations confirmed the idea of an underlying mechanism with an impact on all five variables. Though further validation of the construct of sexual openness is required, the findings strongly support the notion of an overarching latent attitude variable, which influences the individual relation to everything sexual. The results were compared to other studies and potential approaches for future analyses were proposed.
