  • Title: Support for gay and lesbian civil rights: development and examination of a new scale.
    Author: Brown MJ, Henriquez E.
    Journal: J Homosex; 2011; 58(4):462-75. PubMed ID: 21442541.
    Abstract:
    This research outlines the development of a psychometrically sound, uni-dimensional scale to assess support for gay and lesbian civil rights. Initial scale development involved examining item-pool responses from 224 undergraduate students. The resulting Support for Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights (SGLCR) scale consisted of 20 items. In a series of studies, the SGLCR demonstrated a stable factor structure, strong internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity. The relationships between SGLCR scores and participants' sex, religiosity, political ideology, gender role beliefs, and attitudes toward lesbians and gays were significant and in the predicted directions.
