Psychometric Validation of the Portuguese Version of the Modern Homonegativity Scale among Portuguese College Students García Berben, Ana Belén Lara Garrido, Adrián Salvador Álvarez Bernardo, Gloria Modern homonegativity Gay men Lesbian woman College students Homophobia Attitudes Modern prejudice Psychometry The studies focused on analysing attitudes toward homosexuality show that the manifestation of homonegativity has evolved into more modern forms. We therefore propose using instruments that capture subtle aspects in discrimination against gay and lesbian people. The objective of this study is twofold. First, we aim to adapt and validate the Portuguese version of the Modern Homonegativity Scale. Second, we set out to analyse the modern homonegativity shown by Portuguese university students. The scale includes two parallel subscales (MHS-Gay Men and MHS-LesbianWomen), each with 12 items. Six hundred and forty-one Portuguese college students between 18 and 27 years of age participated in the study (Mage = 21.23; SD = 1.88). The results demonstrate the unidimensionality of the scale and a high degree of internal consistency, along with satisfactory fit indices. Those people who identified as male and heterosexual showed greater modern homonegativity. We conclude that the Portuguese version of the MHS is valid and reliable for evaluating modern homonegativity in Portugal. 2022-09-26T11:04:56Z 2022-09-26T11:04:56Z 2022-08-18 journal article García-Berbén, A.B...
