title: [Usefulness of the S-S-G, a questionnaire for measuring attitude to pregnancy, sexuality and birth].
abstract: As a part of a larger research-project a questionnaire to measure attitudes towards pregnancy, sexuality and birth was used. The questionnaire, S-S-G, was developed by Lukesch and Lukesch. It is designed to measure attitudes which are believed to be very important for the processes of pregnancy, birth and eventually to the fetal development, as well. Our findings do not support the relevance and significance of this questionnaire. The further use of the S-S-G cannot be recommended because: 1. The standardization is not valid according to our and other random samples. 2. The authors' proofs of validity are not sufficient and cannot be replicated with the exception of one statement. 3. Other correlations postulated cannot be confirmed with our sample. 4. The questionnaire is both in substance and method insufficient. 5. The questionnaire is recommended by the authors for uses which have not been tested by them.
