Summary

This study refined the Self Report of Behavior Scale (SBS-R) to measure anti-gay behaviors. The validated scale identifies avoidance and aggressive behaviors, aiding research into homonegativity.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Anti-gay violence is a significant issue requiring in-depth investigation.
  • Homonegativity, encompassing cognitive, affective, and behavioral components, has been previously conceptualized.
  • The Self Report of Behavior Scale (SBS) was developed to assess negative behaviors toward gay individuals, with subsequent research necessitating scale refinement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To refine and validate the Self Report of Behavior Scale (SBS-R) for measuring self-reported anti-gay behaviors.
  • To examine the factor structure of the SBS-R.
  • To assess the reliability and construct validity of the SBS-R.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 264 college students completed the SBS-R, the Crowne-Marlowe Social Desirability Scale (CMSDS), and the Index of Attitudes Toward Homosexuals (IAH).
  • Factor analysis was employed to determine the underlying structure of the SBS-R.
  • Reliability and construct validity were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Factor analysis of the SBS-R revealed two distinct factors: "avoidance behaviors" and "aggressive behaviors" toward gay individuals.
  • The SBS-R demonstrated high internal consistency.
  • The study confirmed the construct validity of the SBS-R.

Conclusions:

  • The refined SBS-R is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring self-reported anti-gay behaviors.
  • This validated scale will contribute to a better understanding of the interplay between affective, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of homonegativity.
  • Further research utilizing the SBS-R can advance the study of anti-gay attitudes and behaviors.
