Resumen

Antecedentes: la cosificación sexual de la mujer es una manifestación sutil de violencia de género. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la adaptación al español de la escala Interpersonal Sexual Objectification (ISOS) de 15 ítems para contar con un instrumento adecuado a la hora de evaluar dicho constructo. Método: tras adaptar el cuestionario se aplicó a 771 mujeres de población general. Posteriormente se evaluó las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario desde la perspectiva clásica y de Teoría de la Respuesta a los Ítems. Resultados: los datos obtenidos fueron muy similares a los de la versión original. La ISOS mostró muy buena consistencia interna y una estructura bifactorial: evaluación corporal y aproximaciones explícitas no deseadas. Además, la ISOS mostró correlaciones con sexismo benévolo, ansiedad-estado y autoestima. Conclusiones: la versión española de la ISOS se muestra como una medida fiable y válida de cosificación sexual de la mujer en el contexto interpersonal.
