Resumen

The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) has been widely used in applied research and sometimes modified versions have been proposed. The current research aimed to test the internal structure and reliability of the ASI for adolescents (ASI-A) and Brief ASI (B-ASI) versions in the adolescent population. Two analogue samples of Mexican secondary stu-dents (Study 1: n1= 975; Study 2:n2= 1020) composed the sample. The ASI-A showed that the two-dimension model omitting items 1 to 4 is the most recommendable modeland it presents an acceptable fitting to the da-ta (Study 1). The B-ASI bidimensional model showed an appropriate fitting to the data and no modifications were required (Study 2). The ASI-A is a valid measure of ambivalent sexism when some of its items areomit-ted, but the demonstrated validity of the original items in the adolescent population supports that there was no theoretical or empirical reason for developing a specific version for adolescents of the ASI
