This paper reports a factor analytical study of responses to statements of attitudes concerning lesbians and gay men in the military by 72 23.4-yr.-old members of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Using exploratory factor analysis with an oblique rotation four factors were found which accounted for 64.9% of the total common variance. A factor labeled Trust accounted for 40.6% of the common variance, Comfort accounted for 8.7%, Acceptance accounted for 8.2%, and the fourth factor, Threat, accounted for 7.5%. Cronbach a ranged from .63 to .78. Validity was .75 when scores were correlated with those on the Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men scale, supporting the 4-factor interpretation. It is recommended that additional factor analyses be performed to further investigate the validity of the four factors and that of the entire scale.
本文报告了一项对72名年龄为23.4岁的美国海军陆战队后备役成员就军队中女同性恋者和男同性恋者态度陈述的回应进行的因素分析研究。采用探索性因素分析并进行斜交旋转，发现了四个因素，它们占总共同方差的64.9%。一个名为“信任”的因素占共同方差的40.6%，“舒适”占8.7%，“接受”占8.2%，第四个因素“威胁”占7.5%。克朗巴哈α系数范围为0.63至0.78。当分数与女同性恋者和男同性恋者态度量表上的分数相关时，效度为0.75，支持四因素解释。建议进行更多的因素分析，以进一步研究这四个因素以及整个量表的效度。
