Abstract

The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) has been widely used in applied research and sometimes modified versions have been proposed. The current research aimed to test the factor validity and reliability of the ASI for adolescents (ASI-A) and Brief ASI (B-ASI) versions in the adolescent population. Two analogue samples of Mexican secondary students (Study 1: n1 = 975; Study 2: n2 = 1020) composed the sample. The ASI-A showed that the two-dimension model omitting items 1 to 4 is the most recommendable model and it presents an acceptable fitting to the data (Study 1). The B-ASI bidimensional model showed an appropriate fitting to the data and no modifications were required (Study 2). The ASI-A is a valid measure of ambivalent sexism when some of its items are omitted, but the demonstrated validity of the original items in the adolescent population supports that there was no theoretical or empirical reason for developing a specific version for adolescents of the ASI. El inventario de sexismo ambivalente (ASI) es frecuentemente utilizado en la investigación aplicada, lo que ha llevado a que en ocasiones se propongan versiones modificadas del mismo. La presente investigación tuvo por objetivo evaluar la validez factorial y la fiabilidad de la versión para adolescentes (ASI-A) y la versión breve (B-ASI) de este inventario en población adolescente. Se utilizaron los datos de dos muestras análogas de estudiantes de secundaria de México (estudio 1: n1 = 975; estudio 2: n2 = 1020). El modelo de dos dimensiones omitiendo los ítems 1 a 4 resultó ser el más recomendable en el caso del ASI-A presentando un ajuste aceptable (estudio 1). El modelo bidimensional también result ser el más apropiado en el caso del B-ASI al obtener un ajuste adecuado a los datos sin requerir ninguna modificación (estudio 2). El ASI-A es un instrumento de medida válido cuando algunos de los ítems son omitidos, pero la demostrada validez de la versión original de la escala incluso en población adolescente cuestiona la pertinencia teórica y empírica para desarrollar una versión específica para adolescentes.

重新审视模棱两可的性别歧视清单的青少年和简短版本：问题、解决方案和考虑

矛盾的性别主义清单（ASI）已被广泛用于应用研究，有时还提出了修改版本。目前的研究旨在测试青少年ASI（ASI-A）和青少年人口中简短ASI（B-ASI）版本的有效性和可靠性因素。墨西哥中学生的两个模拟样本（研究1:N1=975；研究2:N2=1020）组成了样本。ASI-A表明，省略项目1至4的二维模型是最推荐的模型，并对数据进行了可接受的拟合（研究1）。B-ASI二维模型显示了对数据的适当拟合，无需修改（研究2）。ASI-A是在其一些项目被省略时对矛盾性别主义的有效衡量，但原始项目在青少年人口中被证明是有效的，这支持没有理论或经验理由为ASI青少年开发特定版本。矛盾的性别歧视清单（ASI）在应用研究中经常使用，这导致有时会提出其修改版本。本研究旨在评估青少年版（ASI-A）和简短版（B-ASI）在青少年人群中的因子效度和信度。使用了来自墨西哥中学生的两个类似样本的数据（研究1:N1=975；研究2:N2=1020）。省略项目1至4的二维模型在ASI-A的情况下被证明是最可取的，并提供了可接受的调整（研究1）。二维模型在B-ASI的情况下也是最合适的，因为它在不需要任何修改的情况下对数据进行了适当的调整（研究2）。当一些项目被省略时，ASI-A是一种有效的测量工具，但即使在青少年人群中，该量表的原始版本也被证明是有效的，这质疑了为青少年开发特定版本的理论和经验相关性。
