The objective of this research was to determine its internal consistency, factor structure and factor invariance across sex. A non-proportional quota sampling strategy was used to collect a sample of 400 psychology students at the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey campus, in Mexico. The items of contents had a good internal consistency, and its two-factor model showed a good fit in the total sample, but poor sex-invariance properties. The first factor was on heterosexual fantasies, and the second one on homosexual fantasies and passivity. The model was one-dimensional in women. The items of situations had excellent internal consistency, and its one-factor model showed a good fit and acceptable sex-invariance properties. It is concluded that the questionnaire has internal consistency and construct validity, but the 2-factor model of contents is non-invariant across sex.Archive XML (SciELO) Aunque existe un cuestionario de fantasías sexuales integrado por 18 contenidos y 10 situaciones con validez de contenido y especificidad para estudiantes de psicología, se desconocen sus propiedades psicométricas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar su consistencia interna, estructura factorial e invarianza entre sexos. Se empleó una estrategia de muestreo por cuotas no proporcionales de sexo de 400 estudiantes de psicología de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, campus Monterrey, en México. Los ítems de contenidos tuvieron consistencia interna buena y su modelo de dos factores mostró buen ajuste en la muestra conjunta, pero propiedades de invarianza pobres entre sexos. El primer factor fue sobre fantasías heterosexuales y el segundo sobre fantasías homosexuales y pasividad. En mujeres el modelo fue unidimensional. Los ítems de situaciones tuvieron consistencia interna excelente y su modelo unidimensional mostró buen ajuste y propiedades de invarianza entre sexos aceptables. Se concluye que el cuestionario posee consistencia interna y validez estructural, aunque el modelo bifactorial de contenidos no tenga invarianza entre sexos.Archivo XML (SciELO) Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas 2015-12-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/xml https://revistaciencia.uat.edu.mx/index.php/CienciaUAT/article/view/734 10.29059/cienciauat.v10i1.734 CienciaUAT; Vol. 10 No. 1: July-December 2015; 17-31 CienciaUAT; Vol. 10 No. 1: Julio-Diciembre 2015; 17-31 2007-7858 2007-7521 spa https://revistaciencia.uat.edu.mx/index.php/CienciaUAT/article/view/734/364 https://revistaciencia.uat.edu.mx/index.php/CienciaUAT/article/view/734/527 https://revistaciencia.uat.edu.mx/index.php/CienciaUAT/article/view/734/618 Derechos de autor 2015 CienciaUAT
