Validade, Confiabilidade e Invariância do Duplo Padrão Sexual em uma Amostra Colombiana e Mexicana
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
Objetivo: Analisar a validade, a confiabilidade e a invariância do Questionário de Duplo Padrão Sexual em uma amostra de adolescentes e jovens adultos colombianos e mexicanos.
Métodos: Os participantes foram 1.906 indivíduos, dos quais 795 eram homens (41,7%) e 1.111 eram mulheres (58,2%), com idades entre 15 e 28 anos (M 20,16; DP 2,28). 61,1% da amostra eram colombianos e 38,8% mexicanos. Foi utilizada a Escala de Duplo Padrão Sexual, que avalia a maior permissividade em relação ao comportamento sexual masculino comparado ao feminino.
Resultados: Embora o questionário original apresente uma estrutura unidimensional, a análise fatorial exploratória resultou em dois fatores: Fator 1 (Comportamento Sexual Condescendente em Relação aos Homens) e Fator 2 (Comportamento Sexual Rigoroso em Relação às Mulheres), que explicam 51,7% da variância. Esta nova versão demonstra confiabilidade adequada. A análise fatorial confirmatória foi utilizada para verificar esta nova versão, e os índices de ajuste foram adequados (>0,908). O Funcionamento Diferencial do Item (FDI) dos 10 itens foi avaliado para identificar se a probabilidade de resposta diferenciada aos itens sobre o duplo padrão sexual difere entre as populações mexicana e colombiana. O item 8 apresentou um padrão problemático, com FDI uniforme e não uniforme significativo favorecendo o México. Da mesma forma, o item 3 apresentou FDI não uniforme, sugerindo que discrimina de forma diferente entre os dois países. Igualmente, diferenças estatisticamente significativas foram encontradas no comportamento sexual condescendente em relação aos homens e no comportamento rígido em relação às mulheres, com os homens colombianos apresentando pontuações mais altas em comparação aos homens mexicanos.
Conclusões: Os resultados desta pesquisa fornecem um instrumento de mensuração válido e padronizado para o estudo do duplo padrão sexual e para o desenvolvimento de programas de promoção e prevenção de problemas relacionados, como violência doméstica, sexismo e estudos de gênero na educação sexual.
