A new four-item version of the widely used Reiss Premarital Sexual Permissiveness (PSP) Scale is described and analyzed. The purpose of our research was to see if this much quicker to answer format will equal the high scaling attributes of the earlier and longer versions. Samples of students from the United States (N = 217) and Sweden (N = 186) were administered the short form. The analysis and data are presented and compared with the results of the original, longer versions of the scale. Results indicated that the four-item version met all Guttman scale requirements. Comparisons among scales indicated that criteria measurement scores were higher for the four-item version than they were for Reiss's earlier versions. The ways in which the new scale may be used are discussed, including the possible use of only one or two items from this new format as a quick and accurate attitudinal assessment of premarital sexual permissiveness.
本文描述并分析了广泛使用的赖斯婚前性许可(PSP)量表的一个新的四项版本。我们研究的目的是探究这种回答格式更快的版本是否能等同于早期较长版本的高量表属性。来自美国(N = 217)和瑞典(N = 186)的学生样本接受了简短版本的测试。呈现了分析和数据,并与该量表原始较长版本的结果进行了比较。结果表明,四项版本满足所有古特曼量表要求。量表之间的比较表明,四项版本的标准测量得分高于赖斯早期版本。讨论了新量表的使用方式,包括可能仅使用这种新格式中的一两项作为对婚前性许可的快速准确态度评估。
