Bem Sex Role Inventory Validation in the International Mobility in Aging Study

Abstract: This study investigated the measurement structure of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) with different factor analysis methods. Most previous studies on validity applied exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to examine the BSRI. We aimed to assess the psychometric properties and construct validity of the 12-item short-form BSRI in a sample administered to 1,995 older adults from wave 1 of the International Mobility in Aging Study (IMIAS). We used Cronbach's alpha to assess internal consistency reliability and confi… Show more

“…This structure has been satisfactorily confirmed by a number of recent studies (Ahmed et al 2016;Carver et al 2013). As done in similar previous research (Ahmed et al 2016;Carver et al 2013;Mateo and Fernández 1991), responses to the 12 items comprising the scale were factor-analyzed to compute the masculinity and femininity factors. The results from the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were fully satisfactory and yielded two factors (masculinity and femininity), explaining 55.7% of the overall variance.…”

“…The validity of this simplified version was confirmed for a Spanish sample (Mateo and Fernández 1991). The BSRI assumes a 2-factor structure representing the femininity and masculinity dimensions (Ahmed et al 2016;Bem 1981). This structure has been satisfactorily confirmed by a number of recent studies (Ahmed et al 2016;Carver et al 2013).…”

“…The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) scale provides a continuous measure of psychological profiles pertaining to traits traditionally associated with masculinity and femininity [38,39]. We used a 12 item short form of the BSRI [40,41]. Each item was rated on a 7 point scale from 1 (never or almost never true) to 7 (almost always true).…”

“…Previous research has not examined the associations between gender roles and physical function. Upon validation of a brief 12-item version of the Bem Sex Roles Inventory (BSRI), 22 we classified subjects into four types (masculine, feminine, androgynous and undifferentiated), unveiled cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between these gender role types and physical performance and identified mediating pathways between BSRI and physical performance. Feminine and undifferentiated gender roles are independent risk factors for mobility disability and low physical performance.…”
