RUIZ-BUGARIN, Cynthia Lizbeth and ONOFRE-RODRIGUEZ, Dora Julia. Validation of the Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS) in migrants from the Northwest Border of Mexico. Horiz. sanitario [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.1, pp.61-67. Epub Dec 16, 2022. ISSN 2007-7459. https://doi.org/10.19136/hs.a22n1.5069.
Objective:
Of this study is to analyze the psychometric properties of the brief sexual opinion scale in the migrant population.
Materials and methods:
The sample consisted of 175 people who migrate, to measure Erotophobia-erotophilia, the sexual opinion scale was used, to examine the construct validity, the scale was adapted to a colloquial language, 62 volunteers participated to read and Express if they understood each of the questions. Subsequently, the internal and external validity of the SOS was analyzed. The participants were selected from the population of migrants through non-probabilistic sampling, for convenience.
Results:
85.4% were men, mostly from Mexico (84.7%). For internal validation, Cronbach's alpha .763 was obtained, it presents a unidimensional structure, with respect to convergent validity it was correlated with sexual assertiveness.
Conclusions:
The measurements obtained in the SOS in its brief version of 6 items have shown weak internal consistency values, it presents a one-dimensional structure in a sample of migrants, the scale has shown to be stable in different countries such as Spain, Colombia and El Salvador.
