Abstract

PAEZ, José; HEVIA, Guillermo; PESCI, Florencia  and  RABBIA, Hugo H. Construction and validation of a Negative Attitudes toward Trans People Scale. Rev. psicol. (Lima) [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.1, pp.153-190. ISSN 0254-9247.

The study goal was to construct and psychometrically validate a negative’s attitudes towards trans people scale (EANT) as an expression of prejudice against trans. Two interdependent sequential studies through questionnaires are reported, both rely on non-probabilistic samples: Study 1, involves 203 participants, mainly college students, addresses the construction and exploratory analysis of the EANT. Study 2, involving 408 participants assigned according to s ociodemographic quotes established by the national census in the general population, shows confirmatory factor analysis and external validation of the scale. A sole factor 9-item instrument, with acceptable internal consistency (α = .886) was obtained. The results suggest good applicability in general population studies. Expected relations with typical variables (ATLG, RWA, SDO and religiosity) were procured.

Keywords : Negative attitudes; trans people; sexual prejudice; gender prejudice; trans identity law.
