Primary use / Purpose:
A measure of sexist discrimination in women’s lives, explicitly relating to HIV
Background:
The Modified Version of Sexual Events (SSE-LM) is a modified version of the Schedule of Sexual Events-Lifetime (SSE, Klonoff & Landrine, 1995 ), which additionally applies to women’s HIV risk behaviours.
Psychometrics:
Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that a higher-order factor model provided a satisfactory and a more parsimonious account for correlations among the measure’s four sexism factors than a single latent factor model. Scale reliability for the SSE-LM was excellent (Cronbach’ s alpha = .89). Structural equation modeling results demonstrated that the SSE-LM is associated with women’s sexual risk behaviors with secondary partners, but not primary partners.
