The present study reports the psychometric properties of the English version of the short form of the Attitudes Toward Homosexuality Scale (ATHS; Falomir-Pichastor & Mugny, 2009). Workers from Amazon’s MTurkTM (n = 235 for validation, n = 60 for test-retest) completed the short form of the ATHS, translated from French, and the Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men Scale (ATLG; Herek, 1998) and responded to a series of demographic questions. In this paper, we present evidence for a single-factor structure of the scale, along with evidence for the validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of the measure. The data revealed distinct patterns in participants’ ATHS scores as a function of their religious affiliation and political conservatism. Finally, positive ATHS scores predicted support for gay rights over and above that predicted by ATLG scores (Herek, 1984). The evidence presented suggests that the ATHS is a psychometrically reliable and valid tool for assessing attitudes toward homosexuality.

对同性恋态度量表的英文版

本研究报告了英文版对同性恋态度量表 (ATHS; Falomir-Pichastor & Mugny, 2009) 简短形式的心理测量特性。亚马逊 MTurkTM 的工作人员（n = 235 用于验证，n = 60 用于重新测试）完成了从法语翻译而来的 ATHS 的简短形式，以及对男女同性恋者的态度量表（ATLG；Herek，1998 年）并回应了一系列人口问题。在本文中，我们提供了量表单因素结构的证据，以及该量表的有效性、内部一致性和重测信度的证据。数据揭示了参与者的 ATHS 分数的不同模式，作为他们的宗教信仰和政治保守主义的函数。最后，积极的 ATHS 分数预测了对同性恋权利的支持，高于 ATLG 分数的预测（Herek，1984）。所提供的证据表明，ATHS 是一种心理测量学上可靠且有效的工具，用于评估对同性恋的态度。
