The aim of the present study was to translate the Homosexuality scale of the Trueblood Sexual Attitudes Questionnaire into the Italian language and to assess its factor structure and psychometric properties in Italian psychology students. The questionnaire was originally developed and validated in U.S. college students, and later in Turkish social work students, showing high internal consistency. It measures attitudes toward several sexual practices and behaviors, regarding self and others. Particularly, the Homosexuality scale measures attitudes toward different sexual and romantic practices with people of the same sex. A total of 199 Italian psychology students participated to the study, and they were administered the Italian translation of the scale. We applied exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results showed that the scale has high internal consistency, and that the original two-factor model accounting for attitudes toward self and others fits the data well. Implications for education and assessment in student populations are discussed.
本研究的目的是将《特鲁德血液性态度问卷》中的同性恋量表翻译成意大利语，并评估其在意大利心理学专业学生中的因子结构和心理测量特性。该问卷最初是在美国大学生中开发并验证的，后来在土耳其社会工作专业学生中进行了验证，显示出较高的内部一致性。它测量对几种性行为和行为的态度，包括对自己和他人的态度。特别是，同性恋量表测量对与同性进行不同性和浪漫行为的态度。共有199名意大利心理学专业学生参与了这项研究，并对他们进行了该量表的意大利语翻译测试。我们应用了探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析。结果表明，该量表具有较高的内部一致性，并且最初解释对自己和他人态度的双因素模型与数据拟合良好。文中还讨论了对学生群体教育和评估的启示。
