The Revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R) is a measurement tool for assessing an individual's willingness to engage in uncommitted sexual relations. Despite its widespread use in various contexts, no studies have validated the use of this instrument in China. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of an existing Chinese translation of the SOI-R. A total of 2,209 participants were recruited and randomly divided into two groups: exploratory factor analysis was conducted on one group and confirmatory factor analysis on the other, with 161 participants from the total sample recruited to assess the test-retest reliability. Criterion validity was measured by testing the correlations between sociosexuality and sexual desire, mate value, sexual attitudes, and personality traits. The results confirmed a three-factor structure (sociosexual behaviors, attitudes, and desire) for the SOI-R. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated good reliability (internal consistency and test-retest stability) and validity (criterion validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity) of the SOI-R, supporting its suitability as an assessment tool for sociosexual orientation in China.
修订后的性社交取向问卷(SOI-R)是一种评估个体参与非承诺性关系意愿的测量工具。尽管它在各种情况下得到了广泛的应用,但在中国,尚未有研究对该工具的使用进行验证。因此,本研究旨在评估 SOI-R 的现有中文翻译本的信度和效度。共招募了 2209 名参与者,并将其随机分为两组:一组进行探索性因素分析,另一组进行验证性因素分析,从总样本中抽取 161 名参与者评估测试-重测信度。效标效度通过测试性社交与性欲望、伴侣价值、性态度和人格特质之间的相关性来衡量。结果证实了 SOI-R 的三因素结构(性行为、态度和欲望)。此外,研究结果表明 SOI-R 具有良好的信度(内部一致性和重测稳定性)和效度(效标效度、聚合效度和区分效度),支持其在中国作为性社交取向评估工具的适用性。
