Purpose

The Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) is primarily designed for studying sexual attitudes among young people.

Test Year

2006

Administration Method and Scoring

The scale consists of 23 items, using a Likert 5-point scoring method (1=非常不同意 – Strongly Disagree, 5=非常同意 – Strongly Agree). The total score ranges from 23 to 115, with higher scores indicating more tolerant sexual attitudes.

Reliability and Validity

The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach’s α) for the scale ranges from 0.71 to 0.93. Fit validity indicators range from 0.92 to 0.99. In Chen Meirong’s study, the total Cronbach’s α was 0.885, with dimension-specific values between 0.791 and 0.883. In Xiong Yan’s research, the total scale’s internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha) was 0.84, with subscale coefficients ranging from 0.50 to 0.79.

Factors and Subscales

The scale includes four dimensions:
– 开放性 (Openness) – 10 items
– 节育 (Contraception) – 3 items
– 交流性 (Communication) – 5 items
– 工具性 (Instrumental) – 5 items
