Abstract
- PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to design and evaluate a scale for measuring the attitudes toward condom use in sexual relationships. METHOD: A questionnaire was administered to 631 college students using a convenience sampling method. The psychometric properties (reliability and validity) were evaluated. RESULT: As a result of the item analysis, 16 items were selected and the internal consistency alpha coefficient was .88. Results indicated that the condom attitude scale is composed of three factors: Interruption of sexual pleasure; Protection; and Image. The three factors accounted for 59.54% of the variance in the total scale. Also, condom attitude was statistically significant (t=7.389, p=.000) between consistent condom users and inconsistent users. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that condom attitudes are multidimensional, and the reliability and validity of the scale was supported.
