abstract = {Despite the growing interest in the study of sexual attitudes across sexual orientation,
few studies have tested whether the instruments used to measure them are invariant. This study
examined measurement invariance (configural, weak, strong, and strict) across sexual orientation
in three different sexual attitude scales: the Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS) to assess erotophilia, the
Hurlbert Index of Sexual Fantasy (HISF) to assess attitudes toward sexual fantasies, and the Negative
Attitudes Toward Masturbation Inventory (NATMI) to assess negative attitudes toward masturbation.
A total of 2293 Spanish adult men and women with different sexual orientations (i.e., heterosexual,
bisexual, and gay) participated in the study. The results indicated strict invariance for HISF across
sexual orientation and only weak invariance for SOS and NATMI. Differential item functioning was
also found in two items of the NATMI scale. Evidence of validity was provided for the three scales
that were studied.},
