Measurement of beliefs about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is important to understanding sexual health behaviors. The purpose of this study was to develop and test the psychometric properties of the Representations of STDs (RoSTD) Scale. The RoSTD was developed to measure young women's representations of STDs, and it is intended to be used to measure beliefs about any of the seven most common STDs. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a four-factor structure for the 40-item RoSTD: Future Perspective, Cause, Psychosocial Consequence, and Identity. Internal consistency for the subscales (measured for each of seven different STDs) ranged from .67 to .93 and 2-week test-retest correlations ranged from .69 to .90. The RoSTD shows evidence of reliability and validity in young women.
测量关于性传播疾病（性病）的信念对于理解性行为健康非常重要。本研究的目的是开发和测试性传播疾病代表性量表（RoSTD）的心理测量学特性。RoSTD 旨在测量年轻女性对性病的代表性看法，旨在用于测量对七种最常见性病中任何一种的信念。验证性因素分析表明，40 项 RoSTD 具有四个因素结构：未来视角、病因、心理社会后果和身份。子量表的内部一致性（针对七种不同性病中的每一种进行测量）范围为.67 至.93，两周重测信度相关系数范围为.69 至.90。RoSTD 在年轻女性中具有可靠性和有效性的证据。
