Abstract
We appreciate Scheidell's interest in our study. Indeed, the Gender-Equitable Norms scale was originally developed and tested among a sample of Brazilian young men(1) and has been used in modified form by researchers in numerous settings in the United States and elsewhere, among both adolescents and adults.(2,3) Our team previously tested a version of the scale among a clinic-based sample of 14- to 20-year-old males in the Northeastern United States and found that, similar to the Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM) study, boys holding traditional gender attitudes were more likely to report dating violence perpetration.(3) Because the psychometric properties of any scale are dependent on the population in which data are collected, we then conducted extensive pilot testing of these measures for the CBIM study in collaboration with Futures Without Violence and the Waitt Institute for Violence Prevention (nonprofit violence prevention organizations).
