Implication

Randomized trial confirms the measurement invariance of the Process-Based Consent Scale across gender and sexual orientation, suggesting it reliably assesses consent attitudes.

Key Points

This study aims to confirm the factor structure and measurement invariance of the Process-Based Consent Scale across gender and sexual orientation.
N=1,046 participants from Canada were sampled for the study.
Applied multi-group confirmatory factor analysis to assess measurement invariance across gender and sexual orientation.
Evaluated concurrent validity with sexually aggressive behaviors using the Process-Based Consent Scale.
Confirmed full configural, metric, and scalar invariance of the PBCS across gender and sexual orientation.
LGB+ participants demonstrated more prosocial responses across subscales.
Women/gender-diverse participants reported significantly less Subtle Coercion than men.
