Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for measuring sexual values of college students. Methods: The data were collected from 308 university students for three months from March 15th to June 15th,2016. The development of the scale was done in the following order: development of preliminary items; verificationof content validity and reliability; factor analysis; and criterion validity of final items. Results: We developed a questionnaireusing a five-point Likert-type scale in a self-report form containing 18 items. From the factor analysis,18 items in three factors were finalized. The 18 items included 3 sub-scales: Cognitive (5 items); Affective (4items); and Behavioral (9 items). The internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's ⍺=.88). In this study, sexualvalues were significantly correlated with self-concept (r=.344, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of this studywill be useful not only for evaluating sexual values of college students but also for obtaining basic data for sexeducation. However, we need further studies in order to use the scale in practice and research.
