Transgender people suffer from a variety of consequences as victims of anti-transgender prejudice. Christians have been frequently identified as holding negative attitudes toward transgender people; however, there is evidence that these attitudes may be changing. Accurate measurement of attitudes is important in understanding currently held beliefs and to assess potential changes over time. This study tested the validity of the Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (TABS) for use with the Christian population with a sample of 207 self-identified Christians in the United States. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the factor structure of TABS: χ (374, N = 207) = 821.46, < 0.001 ( χ = 2.20 < 4); RMSEA = .076 (90%CI = .069; .083), CFI = .926, SRMR = .053. Overall, results suggest that TABS is an appropriate instrument to utilize with the Christian population in the United states.
跨性别者作为反跨性别偏见的受害者，承受着各种各样的后果。基督教徒经常被认为对跨性别者持有负面态度；然而，有证据表明这些态度可能正在发生变化。准确测量态度对于理解当前所持信念以及评估随时间推移的潜在变化非常重要。本研究以美国207名自我认定为基督教徒的样本，测试了跨性别态度与信念量表（TABS）在基督教人群中的有效性。验证性因素分析（CFA）证实了TABS的因素结构：χ（374，N = 207）= 821.46，< 0.001（χ = 2.20 < 4）；RMSEA = 0.076（90%CI = 0.069；0.083），CFI = 0.926，SRMR = 0.053。总体而言，结果表明TABS是在美国基督教人群中使用的合适工具。
