Liberalismo / conservadorismo sexual: proposta de uma medida multi-fatorial Sexual liberalism / conservatism: proposal of a multi-factorial measurement

Este estudo objetiva apresentar uma medida multi-fatorial de liberalismo / conservadorismo sexual. Partiu-se do Questionário de Atitudes Sexuais, sendo acrescentados novos itens. Para tanto, foram realizados dois estudos. No primeiro, os participantes responderam o Questionário de Atitudes Sexuais, dividido em duas sub-escalas (Self e Other), e questões demográficas. Os resultados das análises fatoriais exploratórias evidenciaram um fator geral de liberalismo / conservadorismo sexual. No segundo estudo os participantes responderam o Questionário de Liberalismo / Conservadorismo Sexual (QLCS), a Escala de Conservadorismo Moral, a Escala de Tradicionalismo Moral e questões demográficas. Mediante uma análise fatorial confirmatória, comprovou-se a estrutura multi-fatorial do QLCS, que revelou índices aceitáveis de bondade de ajuste. Os Alfas de Cronbach encontrados para os fatores de segunda ordem foram 0,88 (Self) e 0,90 (Other). Todos os fatores do liberalismo se correlacionaram entre si e com as escalas de conservadorismo e tradicionalismo moral, comprovando a validade convergente do instrumento psicométrico, que se mostrou adequado para utilização no contexto brasileiro.<br>This study aims at presenting a multi-factorial measurement of sexual liberalism/conservatism. New items were added to the Sexual Attitudes Questionnaire and two studies were developed. During the first study, the participants answered the Sexual Attitudes Questionnaire, divided in two sub-scales (Self and Other), and demographic questions. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed a general factor of sexual liberalism/conservatism. In the second study, the participants answered the Sexual Liberalism/Conservatism Questionnaire (SLCQ), the Moral Conservatism Scale, the Moral Traditionalism Scale and demographic questions. By means of a confirmatory factorial analysis, the multi-factorial structure of the SLCQ was confirmed, revealing acceptable indexes of goodness-of-fit. The Cronbach's Alpha found to the second order factors were.88 (Self) and.90 (Other). All factors of liberalism correlated themselves with each other and with the conservatism and traditionalism scales, corroborating the convergent validity of the psychometric instrument, wich proved its adequacy for use in the Brazilian context.
