Analysis
The Age, Gender, and Sexual Motivation Inventory (AGSMI) is a tool that evaluates the influence of age and gender on sexual motives and desires. The purpose of the scale is to examine how factors such as age and gender affect individuals’ sexual needs, desires, and preferences.
Objective
The objective of the Age, Gender, and Sexual Motivation Inventory (AGSMI) is to provide a detailed picture of the factors that influence sexual desires and behaviors in relation to age and gender. The scale helps in understanding the differences and commonalities in sexual motives across different age groups and genders, contributing to the development of more targeted strategies for promoting sexual health and well-being.
Calibration
The calibration of the Age, Gender, and Sexual Motivation Inventory includes:
Internal Consistency: Evaluation of the reliability of the scale through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, which should usually be high (e.g., >0.70).
Validity: Examination of the validity of the tool, including convergent and discriminant validity, to ensure that the AGSMI accurately measures sexual desires and motives in relation to age and gender.
Different Demographic Groups: Analysis of the application of the scale across various demographic groups, such as age, gender, and cultural background, to ensure its broader applicability.
