摘要
This study reports on the development of a Likert scale that measures attitudes toward AIDS victimes (ATAV) in five phases. A total of 582 undergraduate (x age = 24.2) completed the survey forms, 249 males and 333 females. The results for Phase 1 yielded a scale with high part-whole correlations (.62-.90, p <.001), corrected split-half reliability (.87, p <.001), and alpha coefficients (.91, p <.001). The following phases yielded significant correlations between the ATAV scale and attitudes toward homosexuals (.60, p <.001), homosexual parenting (.64, p <.001), other minority groups (.33,.37, p <.001), capital punishment (-.27 p <.001), and sexually liberal attitudes (.22,.37,.23, p, <.025). Attitudes toward homosexuals are the central component in attitudes toward AIDS victimes. A varimax rotated factor analysis of the ATAV yielded one primary factor accounting for 85.9% of the variance. © 1990 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
