RT Journal Article T1 Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Validity of the Sexual Harassment Scale in Football Refereeing A1 Sánchez, Josefa A1 Serrat, Sara A1 Castillo Viera, Estefanía A1 Nuviala, Alberto AB Inequalities between men and women in the workplace are reflected in professional sports,specifically football refereeing. This phenomenon sometimes becomes sexual harassment since itis a stereotypically considered male profession in which women are a minority. To measure thatbehavior, it is necessary to count on valid and reliable tools. Therefore, the goal of this study wasto determine the factorial structure and the discriminant and convergent validity of the ‘sexualexperiences questionnaire’, version of the Department of Defence (SEQ-DoD). Eighty-nine malefootball referees and ninety-four female football referees, with a mean age of 23.30 ± 4.85 years,participated in this studio conducted questionnaire in Andalusia, Spain. A confirmatory factoranalysis was performed using the robust maximum-likelihood estimation method. The goodness offit was assessed, and the factorial invariance was calculated to determine the stability of the model.Subsequently, the validity was confirmed. The results corroborated the validity and reliability of thequestionnaire adapted to the population studied. Therefore, it can be used as a research instrument.
