MOIZEIS, Heloísa Bárbara Cunha et al. Liberal Sexual Practices Scale (LSPS): development and psychometric evidences in the Brazilian contexto. Psicol. Conoc. Soc. [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.3, pp.79-95.  Epub 01-Dez-2020. ISSN 1688-7026.  https://doi.org/10.26864/pcs.v10.n3.6.

This study aimed to develop a measure of liberal sexual practices, gathering evidence of its psychometric properties. Two studies were performed in the general population. In Study 1, the participants (N = 216; Mage = 24.5, 65.7% women) answered the Liberal Sexual Practices Scale and demographic questions. An exploratory factorial analysis indicated a one-factor solution composed by nine items, which presented adequate reliability. Through Item Response Theory, it was observed that these items contributed similarly to the total information rate of this instrument. In Study 2, the participants (N = 220; Mage = 24.1, 68.2% women) answered additionally the Liberalism and Conservatism Sexual Questionnaire. A confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the one-factor structure of the LSPS, which was correlated as expected with the LCSQ factors (autoeroticism, pornography, homosexuality, and premarital sex). In conclusion, the LSPS, presents satisfactory psychometric evidences to measure liberal sexual practices in the Brazilian context.
