The Revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R) is a widely used measure in research, yet the invariance of this measure has not been established in English speaking Non-Hispanic White (NHW) and Hispanic/Latine populations. This study examined whether the SOI-R, a measure developed in Germany, was invariant between US Hispanic/Latina (N = 208) and NHW (N = 190) undergraduate women. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to assess model fit in the Hispanic/Latina and NHW samples and fit of increasingly restrictive models was used to test configural, metric, scalar, and residual invariance of the models in both samples. CFA results revealed that data from both the Hispanic/Latina and NHW groups fit the model adequately in this sample, which consisted of highly acculturated Hispanic/Latina college women. Tests of measurement invariance found that the SOI-R was invariant across Hispanic/Latina and NHW college women. However, questions about the development of the SOI-R and the underlying assumptions made during the course of its development might be considered prior to the use of the measure in research, and further invariance testing should be conducted in future work with less acculturated Hispanic/Latine populations.
修订后的社会性行为取向量表（SOI-R）是研究中广泛使用的一种测量工具，但在非西班牙裔白人（NHW）和西班牙裔/拉丁裔说英语的人群中，该量表的不变性尚未得到证实。本研究调查了在德国开发的SOI-R量表在美国西班牙裔/拉丁裔（N = 208）和非西班牙裔白人（N = 190）本科女性之间是否具有不变性。验证性因素分析（CFA）用于评估西班牙裔/拉丁裔和非西班牙裔白人样本中的模型拟合情况，并且使用越来越严格的模型拟合来检验两个样本中模型的构型、度量、标量和残差不变性。CFA结果显示，在这个由高度同化的西班牙裔/拉丁裔大学女性组成样本中，西班牙裔/拉丁裔和非西班牙裔白人组的数据都能充分拟合模型。测量不变性检验发现，SOI-R在西班牙裔/拉丁裔和非西班牙裔白人大学女性中具有不变性。然而，在研究中使用该测量工具之前，可能需要考虑有关SOI-R的开发以及在其开发过程中所做的潜在假设的问题，并且在未来针对同化程度较低的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人群的研究中应进行进一步的不变性检验。
