<p>Introduction: The Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivation (TRIM-18) Inventory is an instrument that assesses episodic forgiveness. This scale is composed of three subscales: <em>avoidance</em>, <em>revenge</em> and <em>benevolence</em>. The present study examined the dimensionality of the Spanish version of the TRIM-18 (TRIM-18-S) and provided evidence of validity and reliability. Method: A total of 943 participants completed the TRIM-18-S.  A subset of 277 participants completed additional measures of empathy, anger, and information regarding the relation with the offender. Results: The TRIM-18-S showed good psychometric properties, and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a three-factor structure. Conclusions: The scale presents adequate psychometric properties for its potential use in a Spanish population.</p><p> </p>

Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ; Raedeke y Smith, 2001) es un instrumento que mide el burnout específico en el deporte el cual se ha utilizado a nivel mundial. En México aún no se cuenta con un estudio que valide sus propiedades psicométricas, por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es validar el Cuestionario de Burnout Deportivo (ABQ) en el contexto mexicano, mediante el análisis de fiabilidad, validez factorial de segundo orden e invarianza factorial por género. Se evaluó a 2,612 deportistas con la versión al castellano (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested y Morales, 2011) del Cuestionario del Burnout Deportivo (ABQ; Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, Raedeke y Smith, 2001). Los resultados muestran fiabilidad; se confirma una estructura factorial de segundo orden y las cargas factoriales e interceptos se consideran invariantes entre hombres y mujeres. Se concluye que el ABQ es instrumento apropiado para las investigaciones e intervenciones en el deporte del contexto mexicano. Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ, Raedeke and Smith, 2001) is an instrument that measures burnout in sport, widely spread and used worldwide. In Mexico there is still no study to validate its psychometric properties. Therefore, the objective of this study is to validate Cuestionario de Burnout Deportivo, evaluating reliability, factorial validity and factorial invariance by gender. We evaluated 2612 athletes with spanish version (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested and Morales, 2011) of Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). The results show satisfactory levels of reliability, a second-order factor structure is confirmed and factor charges and intercepts are considered invariant between men and women. It is concluded that ABQ is an appropriate instrument for research and interventions in sport of Mexican context. Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ; Raedeke e Smith, 2001) é um instrumento que mede o burnout específico no esporte, amplamente difundido e usado em todo o mundo. No México ainda não tem um estudo para validar as suas propriedades psicométricas, por conseguinte, o objectivo deste estudo consiste em validar o Questionário de neutralização Deportivo (ABQ) no contexto mexicano, avaliar a fiabilidade, validade fatorial de segunda ordem e a invariância fatorial por gênero. Foram avaliadas; 2612 atletas para a versão castelhana (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested e Morales, 2011) Burnout Questionário Deportivo (ABQ, Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, Raedeke e Smith de 2001). Os resultados mostram níveis satisfatórios de confiabilidade. A estrutura fatorial, cargas fatoriais e interceptos são considerados invariantes entre homens e mulheres. ABQ conclui-se que o instrumento adequado para pesquisas e intervenções no esporte do contexto mexicano.

This study investigated perceptions of love across the lifespan using Sternberg’s triangular theory of love, which distinguishes between passion, intimacy, and commitment. The study aimed to (a) investigate the psychometric properties of the short Triangular Love Scale (TLS-short) in adolescents and adults (see Appendix), and (b) track age and gender differences in the three love components of the TLS-short in a sample of 12- to 88-year-olds (N = 2791). The three-factor structure of the TLS-short was confirmed in both the adolescent and adult sample. Adolescents (12–17 years) reported lower levels of all love components compared to young adults (18–30 years). Late adults (50+) reported lower levels of passion and intimacy, but similar levels of commitment compared to young (18–30 years) and middle adults (30–50 years). Gender differences in the perceptions of all three love components were present but less sizeable than suggested in popular accounts and earlier academic research.

Abstract Introduction The potential consequences of being assertive or non-assertive for people’s sexual health and sexual well-being highlight the importance of assessing sexual assertiveness (SA). The currently available measures have limitations because they do not take recent social changes into account, they are designed to only assess women, and/or they ignore several components of SA. This study tests the psychometric properties of the Assertiveness in Sexual Relations Questionnaire (ASRQ). Methods Thus, 2370 participants (aged 18–69 years) of Spain completed the ASRQ, along with other scales that assesses related dimensions (e.g., family values in relation to sexual assertiveness, sexual esteem). Data were collected during 2020. Results Exploratory factor analysis yielded a four-factor structure: Assertive behavior as initiative, sub-assertive behavior, overly assertive behavior as initiative, and assertive behavior as a response, which was verified by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A multigroup CFA was also conducted in men and women, confirming the adequacy of this four-factor structure across genders. The reliability of the factors ranged from 0.72 to 0.87. Similarly, correlations with related scales were mostly significant and in the expected direction. Conclusions The psychometric results obtained support the use of the ASRQ as a reliable and valid measure to assess sexual assertiveness in both men and women. Policy Implications The availability of an instrument to assess sexual assertiveness, whose psychometric properties have been satisfactorily tested, benefits society by contributing to the improvement of the sexual health of the population, allowing for more effective interventions and the early detection of skills that contribute to the establishment of risky sexual interactions.

Sociosexuality refers to the propensity to engage in sexual relations without closeness or commitment, varying from a restricted to an unrestricted orientation. The aim of this research was to scrutinise the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of the revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R; Penke & Asendorpf, 2008). The study included 549 persons (50% women) aged 18–75 years (M = 38.73; SD = 17.77). The psychometric properties of the SOI-R were analysed by means of confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, and validity. Confirmatory factor analysis showed the expected three-factor structure of the measure. The SOI-R presented adequate internal consistency. Women were less unrestricted than men in all facets of sociosexuality. This Portuguese version of the SOI-R seems to be reliable and valid for evaluating sociosexuality in a Portuguese-speaking population, and can be utilised for experimental and applied works. The significance and limitations of the results are discussed.

Abstract Violence by intimate partners is a cause of concern in several countries, including Brazil. Although some instruments that measure this phenomenon have been found, the Acceptance of Couple Violence Scale (ACVS) has proven to be a brief measure with satisfactory psychometric properties. For this reason, we have sought to investigate its psychometric properties in Brazilian samples. The ACVS was subjected to two studies. Study 1 indicated a two-factor structure with satisfactory internal consistency. Study 2 showed that a three-factor structure, which is in agreement with the original study, is more plausible than one- and two-factor models, with its reliability varying from 0.61 to 0.80. In addition, a correlation was found between the factor of female violence and social desirability, which suggests that future studies should take this variable into account. It was concluded that the ACVS is a valid and precise measure and that it may be used in future studies.
