Abstract:
Objective:To examine the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Transgender Atti-tudes and Beliefs Scale(TABS)in the general adult population.Methods:A total of 1 656 residents aged≥18 years were recruited by convenient sampling method,and were equally divided into sample 1 and sample 2 accord-ing to age group.The total sample was used for item analysis and internal consistency reliability test.Sample 1 was used for exploratory factor analysis,Sample 2 was used for confirmatory factor analysis,and 60 residents were se-lected for retesting at a 2-week interval.Results:The TABS Chinese version included a total of 26 items,with the content validity index(I-CVI)of each item ranging from 0.83 to 1.00,and the content validity index(S-CVI)of the scale being 0.98.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 3 common factors,namely interpersonal comfort,gender beliefs,and human value,with a cumulative total variance of 57.13％.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale fit was acceptable(x2/df=2.95,RMSEA=0.05,GFI=0.92,AGFI=0.90).The Cronbach α coefficients of the total score of the scale and the scores of the 3 factors were 0.95,0.95,0.88 and 0.86.The retest reliabilities were 0.88,0.78,0.65 and 0.91.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale(TABS)has good validity and reliability in assessing general adults'attitudes toward the transgender community.
