Attitudes of acceptability of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are considered one of the main risk factors of this type of violence. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a short version of the acceptability of IPVAW scale, the A-IPVAW-8, for large scale studies where space and time are limited. A panel of experts were asked to assess item content validity. Two samples were recruited to assemble an 8-item short version of the scale using automated test assembly, and to reassess the psychometric properties of the A-IPVAW-8 in an independent sample. Results showed that the A-IPVAW-8 had adequate internal consistency (α = .72-.76, ω = .73-.81), a stable one-factor latent structure (comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.94, Tucker–Lewis index = 0.92, root mean square error of approximation = 0.077), validity evidences based on its relationships to other variables in both samples, and was also invariant across gender (ΔCFI < |0.02|). This study provides a short, easy-to-use tool to evaluate attitudes of acceptability of IPVAW for large scale studies.

对亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为 (IPVAW) 的可接受态度被认为是此类暴力行为的主要风险因素之一。本研究的目的是开发和验证 IPVAW 规模的可接受性的简短版本，即 A-IPVAW-8，用于空间和时间有限的大规模研究。一个专家小组被要求评估项目内容的有效性。招募了两个样本来使用自动测试组装组装一个 8 项短版量表，并在一个独立样本中重新评估 A-IPVAW-8 的心理测量特性。结果表明，A-IPVAW-8 具有足够的内部一致性（α = .72-.76，ω = .73-.81），稳定的单因素潜在结构（比较拟合指数 [CFI] = 0.94，Tucker–刘易斯指数 = 0.92，近似的均方根误差 = 0.077），有效性证据基于其与两个样本中其他变量的关系，并且跨性别也是不变的（ΔCFI < |0.02|）。本研究提供了一个简短、易于使用的工具来评估 IPVAW 对大规模研究的可接受性的态度。
