Since psychologists use scales as a tool they can make good use of one tailored to the idiosyncrasies of the people they work with, among the local scientific literature we found research using scales measuring attitude towards homosexuals, but,none of the developed in Paraguay. The main goal was to construct a valid and reliable scale for measuring attitudes towards homosexuals, as well as stablish reliability levels and dimensions explored. We used an instrumental design, gathering data from September 2015 to February 2016. Final version has 18 items (α ≈ 0.86) and is consistent with the proposed model. (RMSA = 0.71, CFI = 0.92).

Keywords : Psychometrics; LGBT; Factor Analysis.
