Development and Validation of a Measure of Sexual Attitudes

This study describes the development and validation of  the Trueblood Sexual Attitudes Questionnaire, created to measure attitudes about one's personal sexual behavior and attitudes about the sexual behavior of others. Using human sexuality instructors, faculty and graduate students trained in psychometric theory to evaluate the questions, a questionnaire was developed and given to approximately 400 college undergraduates. Internal consistency, coefficient alpha, and factor analysis data will be provided, as well as gender comparisons. This masters thesis project questionnaire is designed to be used to determine the effectiveness of sexuality education in changing attitudes.
