Attitudes of acceptability of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are considered one of the main risk factors of this type of violence. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a short version of the acceptability of IPVAW scale, the A-IPVAW-8, for large scale studies where space and time are limited. A panel of experts were asked to assess item content validity. Two samples were recruited to assemble an 8-item short version of the scale using automated test assembly, and to reassess the psychometric properties of the A-IPVAW-8 in an independent sample. Results showed that the A-IPVAW-8 had adequate internal consistency (α = .72-.76, ω = .73-.81), a stable one-factor latent structure (comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.94, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.92, root mean square error of approximation = 0.077), validity evidences based on its relationships to other variables in both samples, and was also invariant across gender (ΔCFI < |0.02|). This study provides a short, easy-to-use tool to evaluate attitudes of acceptability of IPVAW for large scale studies.
针对妇女的亲密伴侣暴力（IPVAW）可接受性的态度被认为是这种类型暴力的主要风险因素之一。本研究的目的是开发和验证一种针对大规模研究中空间和时间有限的情况下使用的简短版本的 IPVAW 可接受性量表，即 A-IPVAW-8。一组专家被要求评估项目内容的有效性。招募了两个样本，使用自动化测试组件来构建 8 项简短版本的量表，并在独立样本中重新评估 A-IPVAW-8 的心理测量特性。结果表明，A-IPVAW-8 具有足够的内部一致性（α =.72-.76，ω =.73-.81），稳定的单因素潜在结构（比较拟合指数 [CFI] = 0.94，塔克-刘易斯指数 = 0.92，均方根误差近似值 = 0.077），基于其与两个样本中其他变量的关系的有效性证据，以及在性别上的不变性（ΔCFI < |0.02|）。本研究提供了一种简短易用的工具，用于评估大规模研究中对 IPVAW 的可接受性态度。
