Konstruktvalidität einer Kurzversion des Fragebogens zum Erleben von Sexualität in engen Partnerschaften (FESP-K)

Published Online:January 11, 2011https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000033

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Es wird die Kurzfassung des Fragebogens zum Erleben von Sexualität in Partnerschaften (FESP-K) vorgestellt. Sie wurde entwickelt, um ein ökonomisches und reliables Instrument zur Messung von Physischer und Affektiver Anziehung in engen Partnerschaften bereitzustellen. Anhand von zwei Stichproben mit 1582 und 1723 Teilnehmern und Teilnehmerinnen, die an Onlineuntersuchungen teilnahmen, wurde das angenommene zweifaktorielle Modell schrittweise entwickelt und kreuzvalidiert. Das zweifaktorielle Modell erwies sich als invariant zwischen den Geschlechtern und zwischen Gruppen mit unterschiedlichem Alter, unterschiedlicher Beziehungsdauer und unterschiedlichem Beziehungsstatus. Aus konvergenten und diskriminanten Korrelationen der beiden Faktoren mit Beziehungszufriedenheit, sexueller Zufriedenheit, Respekt sowie Bindungsängstlichkeit und -vermeidung ergaben sich weitere Hinweise auf die Konstruktvalidität. Der FESP-K kann in vielen Bereichen der Paar- und Sexualitätsforschung eingesetzt werden.


Construct validity of a brief form of a questionnaire of sexual experience in close relationships (FESP-K)

Abstract. The brief form of a questionnaire of sexual experience in close relationships (FESP-K) is introduced. It was designed to provide an economic and reliable measurement of physical and affective attraction in close relationships. On the basics of two recruited online samples of 1582 and 1723 participants the expected two-factor model was developed and cross-validated. The model proved to be invariant for gender, relationship duration and status and age. Convergent and discriminant correlations of the two factors with relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, respect, attachment anxiety and avoidance corroborate the construct validity of the FESP-K. The questionnaire can be used in many areas of relationship and sex research.
