Summary
This study validated the Transgender Inclusive Behavior Scale (TIBS) in Spanish and confirmed its structure in English. Key predictors of transgender-inclusive behavior include identifying as a woman or LGBTQ+ and being non-religious.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Public Health
Background:
- The Transgender Inclusive Behavior Scale (TIBS) measures supportive actions and language towards transgender individuals.
- Existing research highlights the need for validated instruments to assess transgender inclusivity across different cultural contexts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a Spanish version of the TIBS.
- To confirm the factorial structure of the English TIBS.
- To evaluate the psychometric properties and construct validity of the TIBS in Spain and the UK.
Main Methods:
- 1,110 university students (Spain and UK) completed the TIBS.
- Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to validate the scale's structure.
- Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.
Main Results:
- The TIBS demonstrated a consistent three-dimensional structure in both Spanish and English versions.
- Excellent reliability was found (Cronbach's α = .95 in the UK, α = .89 in Spain).
- Identifying as a woman, LGBTQ+, or non-religious were strong predictors of inclusive behavior. Lower sexual risk, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic attitudes correlated with higher inclusivity.
Conclusions:
- The Spanish TIBS is a psychometrically sound measure for assessing transgender-inclusive behavior.
- Findings support targeted interventions to enhance social inclusion for transgender people.
- The TIBS can be utilized to monitor the effectiveness of inclusivity initiatives.

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

01:28Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

01:29Reliability and Validity
12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development
25
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...
