Societal attitude toward homosexuality vary greatly in different cultures. Therefore, measuring attitude toward homosexuality with well-validated instruments is a critical step for a better understanding of the prejudice against lesbians and gay men. The Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men Scale-Revised Version (ATLG-R; Herek, 1998) is one of the most known measures of attitude toward homosexuality. The aim of this study was to test the factorial structure, construct validity, and reliability of the Romanian version of ATLG-R. Participants were 229 Romanian university students (174 women and 55 men) aged 18 to 29 years (M = 22.04; SD = 2.26). Participants completed the Romanian version of ATLG-R along with other measures of religiosity and mental openness (as a domain of personality). In order to test the factorial structure of ATLG-R, an exploratory factor analysis (using principal components decomposition with varimax rotation) was performed. Initial results indicated a two-factor model which accounted for 71.59% (factor I – 59.71%, factor II – 11.88%) of the total variance. However, only one item (i.e., ―State laws against private sexual behavior between consenting adult women should be abolished‖) loaded highly (γ = 0.96) on the second factor. Therefore, this item was removed and a second analysis was carried out. Results revealed a single-factor solution which accounted for 67.41% of the total variance. Factor loadings ranged from 0.62 to 0.89. Internal consistency of the nineitem version of ATLG-R was high (α = 0.93). Correlational analysis revealed a positive and moderate association (r = 0.50; p < 0.001) between ATLG-R score and religiosity. The correlation with mental openness was negative (as expected), but modest (r = - 0.14; p < 0.05). Comparative data are also presented. |
