DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A PATERNAL SEXUAL SOCIALIZATION SCALE BASED ON THE DOMAIN-SPECIFIC APPROACH

Keywords: Sexuality, Family, Health-sexual, College student, Psychometry

Abstract

Abstract: A scale was designed and validated to obtain information about the paternal practices and the specific domains of interaction for sexual alphabetization in teenage children. Two studies were developed, the first one to determine the psychological meaning of different paternal practices of sexual socialization and to obtain a sample of these specific behaviors (n=200 college students) to create items. Modified Natural Semantic Networks were used. The second study determined the reliability and validity of the instrument (26 items); a random sampling was used (n=690 college students) and through the Factorial Exploratory Analysis of Principal Components, three factors were determined that explain the 47.89 % of the total variance and a 0.937 of global internal consistency coefficient. It was concluded that the scale is a valid instrument to know the paternal practices and the domains of interaction from where fathers generate the sexual alphabetization in their adolescents.
