Abstract
This study presents the translation and initial validation of the Sexual Prejudice in Sport Scale (SPSS) for use in Brazil and Portugal. The scale includes 19 items and is organized into 3 subscales: Open Rejection, Denial of Visibility, and Gender Performance. The participants were 618 university student athletes (348 Brazilian and 270 Portuguese), who completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the SPSS, and the Multidimensional Scale of Attitudes towards Lesbians and Gays (MSATLG). Confirmatory factor analyses, reliability tests, convergent and discriminant validity tests, and an assessment of invariance between countries were conducted. The Open Rejection and Gender Performance subscales showed adequate psychometric properties in both countries. However, the Denial of Visibility subscale demonstrated issues with discriminant validity, particularly in the Brazilian sample. Correlations with the MSATLG provided evidence of satisfactory convergent validity. Significant differences in levels of prejudice were observed between countries, with higher scores in Portugal. It is concluded that there is preliminary positive evidence regarding the psychometric qualities of the SPSS, particularly in Portugal.
