Abstract
In Study1, we examined the psychometric properties of the Gender Roles Beliefs Scale (GBRS)[8] with a sample of 451 undergraduate students and identified items that could be used to develop a short version of the scale. The GRBS demonstrated strong reliability; however, the unidimensionality of the scale noted by Kerr and Holden was not supported. Parallel analysis suggested a 2-factor solution. We retained 10 items from the GRBS to create a short version of the scale. In Study 2, the psychometric properties of the 10-item GRBS were examined with a sample of 233 non-student participants. Confirmatory Factor Analysis suggested a 2-factor solution. The scaleâs reliability and construct validity were also supported. In Study 3, the 10-Item GRBS showed strong test-retest reliability. Overall, the 10-item GRBS had strong reliability and demonstrated the same pattern of construct validity reported by the authors of the original scale.
