A version of the Double Standard Scale (SDSS) is presented to assess the subjectiveperception of society's support for the Sexual Double Standard (SDS). We examine itspsychometric properties in a sample of Spanish population heterosexual of 1,206individuals (50% males), distributed across three groups (18-34, 35-49, and 50 yearsold or older).We performed Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory. The foundversion consists of 18 item distributed into three factors (Acceptance for Male SexualShyness,Acceptance for Female Sexual Freedom and Acceptance for TraditionalDouble Standard). A second-order factor structure was also adequate. Internalconsistency, temporal stability and validity evidence are reported. This version of theSDSS is reliable and valid. It allows to assess the perception of societal sexual doublestandard. Its usefulness to improve the predictive validity of the standardized scalesthat evaluate the individual adhesion to SDS is discussed.
