Analysis

The Attitudes Toward Women’s Genitals Scale (ATWGS) seeks to measure people’s attitudes and perceptions regarding women’s genitals. This includes the evaluation of aesthetic, moral, and social views related to the appearance, function, and physical condition of female genitalia.

Purpose

The purpose of the Attitudes Toward Women’s Genitals Scale (ATWGS) is to understand how different attitudes and perceptions influence individuals’ views of women’s genitals. The tool helps enhance understanding of the social and cultural factors that affect body image and sexual health.

Calibration

The calibration of the Attitudes Toward Women’s Genitals Scale includes:
Internal Consistency: Examination of the reliability of the scale using Cronbach’s alpha, which should be high (e.g., > .70) to ensure internal consistency of the items.
Validity: Evaluation of the tool’s validity, including convergent and discriminant validity, to ensure that the scale accurately measures attitudes toward women’s genitals.
Different Demographic Groups: Analysis of the application of the scale across different age groups, genders, and cultural backgrounds to ensure its broader applicability.
