Abstract

ABSTRACT Without a standardized, psychometrically valid psychological instrument directly capturing attitudes toward transgendered individuals, comparisons across samples and cultures are difficult. Thai undergraduate students (N = 285) participated in the validation of the Thai-language Attitudes Toward Transgendered Individuals scale, revealing evidence in support of reliability and validity. A 14-item version with a two-factor structure was a better fit for the Thai sample than the 20-item, single-factor structure found in the U.S. sample. Results suggested that participant sex, but not gender roles, predicted attitudes. Translation and further validation may facilitate cross-cultural examinations and assist in the identification of factors influencing attitudes toward transgendered individuals.
