Abstract
An important limitation of past research concerning discrimination toward nonheterosexual groups has been the lack of differentiation between attitudes toward homosexuality versus bisexuality. The current researchers addressed this limitation by validating a scale measuring attitudes toward bisexuality, the Attitudes Regarding Bisexuality Scale (ARBS). Two studies validated the male and female subscales of the measure. Participants included 57 individuals for the first study and 38 for the second, all of whom were recruited using an online clearinghouse. Three surveys were given to participants to assess how ARBS scores correlated with character ratings of a bisexual media figure. Results showed that ARBS scores covaried with the ratings: low ARBS scores were associated with less favorable ratings, even when assessing the most positive bisexual representation recalled. Internal consistency estimates were also evaluated and determined to be strong.
