Objective: Of this study is to analyze the psychometric properties of
the brief sexual opinion scale in the migrant population.
Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 175 people who
migrate, to measure Erotophobia-erotophilia, the sexual opinion
scale was used, to examine the construct validity, the scale was
adapted to a colloquial language, 62 volunteers participated to read
and Express if they understood each of the questions. Subsequently,
the internal and external validity of the SOS was analyzed. The
participants were selected from the population of migrants through
non-probabilistic sampling, for convenience.
Results: 85.4% were men, mostly from Mexico (84.7%). For
internal validation, Cronbach's alpha .763 was obtained, it presents a
unidimensional structure, with respect to convergent validity it was
correlated with sexual assertiveness.
Conclusions: The measurements obtained in the SOS in its brief
version of 6 items have shown weak internal consistency values, it
presents a one-dimensional structure in a sample of migrants, the
scale has shown to be stable in different countries such as Spain,
Colombia and El Salvador.
