This article describes the development and validation of the UCLA Multidimensional Condom Attitudes Scale (MCAS). The relationships between the MCAS and gender, sexual experience, intentions to use a condom, and past condom use were assessed. The MCAS has five distinct factors: (a) Reliability and Effectiveness of condoms, (b) the sexual Pleasure associated with condom use, (c) the stigma attached to persons who use condoms (Identity Stigma), (d) the Embarrassment About Negotiation and Use of condoms, and (e) the Embarrassment About the Purchase of condoms. The results strongly suggest that condom attitudes are multidimensional and thus cannot meaningfully be summed to a single global score. Results further indicate that men and women hold very different attitudes toward condoms. Implications of scale multidimensionality and directions for future research are discussed.
本文描述了加州大学洛杉矶分校多维避孕套态度量表（MCAS）的编制与验证过程。评估了MCAS与性别、性经历、使用避孕套的意图以及过去使用避孕套情况之间的关系。MCAS有五个不同的因素：（a）避孕套的可靠性和有效性；（b）与使用避孕套相关的性快感；（c）使用避孕套者所背负的污名（身份污名）；（d）对协商及使用避孕套的尴尬感；（e）对购买避孕套的尴尬感。结果有力地表明，避孕套态度是多维的，因此不能有意义地汇总为一个单一的总体得分。结果还进一步表明，男性和女性对避孕套持有非常不同的态度。文中讨论了量表多维性的影响以及未来研究的方向。
