What do you think about sex?
Not just your behavior — your actual beliefs. The Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) measures attitudes toward sexuality across four dimensions. Hendrick, Hendrick, and Reich (2006) created this 23-item scale using a 5-point Likert scale (1=Strongly Disagree, 5=Strongly Agree), covering permissiveness, birth control, communion, and instrumentality.
Scoring Guide
Dimension means: Permissiveness (items 1-9), Sexual Practices (items 10-12), Communion (items 13-18), Instrumentality (items 19-23). No reverse-coded items. Cronbach's α: Permissiveness 0.93-0.95, Practices 0.73-0.77, Communion 0.91-0.94, Instrumentality 0.77-0.88 (Hendrick et al., 2006).Result Interpretation
Finish the 23 questions and you get your results straight away — no account, no sign-up, no waiting.
We calculate your total from your answers, then give you a plain-language explanation of what the numbers mean. Where a test has sub-scales, each dimension gets its own score. Whenever possible, we also show how your results compare to population norms.
