Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Homophobia Scale (HS) is a valid tool to assess homophobia. This test is self-reporting, composed of 25 items, which assesses a total score and three factors linked to homophobia: behavior/negative affect, affect/behavioral aggression, and negative cognition.

AIM

The aim of this study was to validate the HS in the Italian context.

METHODS

An Italian translation of the HS was carried out by two bilingual people, after which an English native translated the test back into the English language. A psychologist and sexologist checked the translated items from a clinical point of view. We recruited 100 subjects aged18-65 for the Italian validation of the HS. The Pearson coefficient and Cronbach's α coefficient were performed to test the test-retest reliability and internal consistency.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES

A sociodemographic questionnaire including the main information as age, geographic distribution, partnership status, education, religious orientation, and sex orientation was administrated together with the translated version of HS.

RESULTS

The analysis of the internal consistency showed an overall Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.92. In the four domains, the Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.90 in behavior/negative affect, 0.94 in affect/behavioral aggression, and 0.92 in negative cognition, whereas in the total score was 0.86. The test-retest reliability showed the following results: the HS total score was r = 0.93 (P < 0.0001), behavior/negative affect was r = 0.79 (P < 0.0001), affect/behavioral aggression was r = 0.81 (P < 0.0001), and negative cognition was r = 0.75 (P < 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

The Italian validation of the HS revealed the use of this self-report test to have good psychometric properties. This study offers a new tool to assess homophobia. In this regard, the HS can be introduced into the clinical praxis and into programs for the prevention of homophobic behavior.

摘要

简介

恐同量表（HS）是一种评估恐同症的有效工具。该测试是自我报告式的，由 25 个项目组成，评估总得分和与恐同症相关的三个因素：行为/负面情绪、情绪/行为攻击和负面认知。

目的

本研究旨在验证 HS 在意大利语环境中的有效性。

方法

由两名双语人士对 HS 进行意大利语翻译，之后由一名英语母语人士将测试内容翻译回英语。心理学家和性学家从临床角度检查翻译后的项目。我们招募了 100 名 18-65 岁的参与者，对 HS 进行意大利语验证。采用皮尔逊系数和克朗巴赫α系数检验测试的重测信度和内部一致性。

主要观察指标

使用包括年龄、地理分布、伴侣关系状况、教育、宗教取向和性取向等主要信息的社会人口学问卷，与翻译后的 HS 一起进行评估。

结果

内部一致性分析显示，总体克朗巴赫α系数为 0.92。在四个领域中，行为/负面情绪的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.90，情绪/行为攻击的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.94，负面认知的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.92，而总得分的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.86。重测信度结果如下：HS 总得分 r=0.93（P<0.0001），行为/负面情绪 r=0.79（P<0.0001），情绪/行为攻击 r=0.81（P<0.0001），负面认知 r=0.75（P<0.0001）。
