El objetivo de esta investigación es evaluar la fiabilidad y la validez de la versión en castellano de la Modern Homonegativity Scale (MHS) de Morrison y Morrison (2003) en una muestra de adultos colombianos. Se realiza un análisis factorial confirmatorio (CFI) con una muestra de 1943 participantes (536 mujeres, 1407 hombres) y se analizan por separado las actitudes que tienen hacia las mujeres lesbianas y hacia los hombres gais. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio confirmaron la estructura unifactorial de la subescala para mujeres lesbianas (S-B χ2 (gl=35) = 384.0118; p = 0.001; χ2 /gl = 10.97; NNFI = .979; CFI = .984; RMSEA = .072 con 90% CI = .065 – .078) y de la subescala para hombres gais (S-B χ2 (gl=35) = 407.2682; p = 0.001; χ2 /gl = 11.64; NNFI = .974; CFI = .979; RMSEA = .074 con 90% CI = .068 – .080). Se considera que la escala MHS es un instrumento útil y preciso para detectar las actitudes hacia las personas homosexuales.
The aim of this research is to assess the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Modern Homonega-tivity Scale (MHS) by Morrison and Morrison (2003) in a sample of Colombian adults. A confirmatory factor analy-sis (CFA) was conducted with a sample of 1943 partici-pants (536 women, 1407 men), and the attitudes towards lesbian women and gay men were analysed separately. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the unidimensional structure of the MHS in its two para-llel forms: the version targeting lesbian women (S-B χ2 (gl=35) = 383.804; p =.001; χ2 /gl = 10.97; CFI =.936; RM-SEA =.072 con 90% CI =.067 –.077; SRMR=0.041) and the version targeting gay men (S-B χ2 (gl=35) = 393.601; p =.001; χ2 /gl = 11.25; CFI =.930; RMSEA =.073 con 90% CI =.067 –.078; SRMR=0.044). The MHS scale is considered a useful and accurate tool for detecting attitu-des towards homosexual individuals.
