Abstract

This work aims to confirm the Ukrainian variant of the Gender Bias Quiz at a linguistic level. Thе questionnaire consists of 20 questions, which allows the psychologist to determine the individual's gender bias. Respondents (university students, 20-26 years old) completed the Ukrainian translated version of the Gender Bias Quiz questionnaire, and then two weeks later, students completed the original one. Statistical analysis of the data included the use of the Wilcoxon test and the Spearman correlation test. The Wilcoxon test results showed no significant differences between the original (English) and the translated questionnaire. Instead, the Spearman test showed a positive correlation at a high level of statistical significance between respondents' scores in the first and second tests. The obtained data proved the successful linguistic validation of this questionnaire.

Gender issues, identifying and analyzing existing gender stereotypes and beliefs are becoming topical all over the world. This type of study is of high importance to the development of society. According to the Sustainable Development Goals provided by The United Nations (UN), gender equality is marked as goal number 5: achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls [1]. The main point highlighted in this document is that gender equality is a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world [1].
