Psychometric analysis of the sexual machismo scale in university students
Keywords:
Sexual machismo, Psychometrics, College students, Validity and reliabilityAbstract
The psychometric analysis of the sexual machismo scale in the Peruvian context was carried out by employing confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 2470 university students from a public university in the city of Arequipa. The sample consisted of 1235 randomly selected males and 1235 randomly selected females. The 12-item Sexual Machismo Scale, which has been previously developed and validated in other contexts, was used. The results indicate a unidimensional factor structure and that there are minimal differences in the factor structure of the scale for female and male students. In addition, both factor structures present adequate goodness-of-fit indices. Likewise, McDonald's Omega coefficient showed high-reliability indices for the total scale. It is concluded that the scale shows adequate validity and reliability indicators for the measurement of sexual machismo in university students in the Peruvian context.
