摘要
This study reports the development and validation of the Marianismo Beliefs Scale (MBS). The MBS consists of five subscales that assess the extent to which a Latina believes she should enculturate and practice the cultural values that comprise the construct of marianismo. The results support the MBS's validity in the selection of the factors based upon an exploratory factor analysis and discriminant validity through examining the relationship of the factors with other established measures. A confirmatory factor analysis provided evidence that marianismo is a multidimensional construct.
