    The revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R)

    Short Manual

    Items 1-3 should be coded as 0 = 1, 1 = 2, 2 = 3, 3 = 4, 4 = 5, 5-6 = 6, 7-9 = 7, 10-19 = 8, 20


    or more = 9; they can then be aggregated (i.e., summed or averaged) to form the Behavior
    facet ( = .85). After reverse-coding item 6, items 4-6 can be aggregated to form the Attitude
    facet ( = .87). Aggregating items 7-9 results in the Desire facet ( = .86). Finally, all nine
    items can be aggregated to a total score of global sociosexual orientation ( = .83).
    When items 1-3 are presented with open response format instead of the rating scales, items
    2, 4, and 7 of the original SOI can be added to the SOI-R to allow for calculating the SOI total
    score in addition to the SOI-R scores. In this case, the open responses should be recoded to
    the rating scale format (i.e., 0 = 1, 1 = 2, ..., 20 to max. = 9) before the SOI-R scores are
    determined.
    Alternatively, we also developed a version of the SOI-R with 5-point rating scales, which
    might be more appropriate for samples with less educated or less test-experienced subjects.
    In this version, the scale alternatives are “0”, “1”, “2-3”, “4-7”, and “8 or more” (coded as 1 to
    5) for the Behavior items, 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) for the Attitude items,
    and “never”, “very seldom”, “about once a month”, “about once a week”, and “nearly every
    day” (coded as 1 to 5) for the Desire item. In a large, heterogeneous online sample (N =
    8,549), the SOI-R with five response alternatives per item achieved good internal
    consistencies ( = .83, .81, .82, and .85 for the total score and the facets Behavior, Attitude,
    and Desire, respectively).
