Assessing the Dimensionality and Other Psychometric Properties of a Greek Translation of the Sex-role Egalitarianism Scale (Form B)

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the dimensionality of a Greek-language version of the Sex Role Egalitarianism Scale-Form B (SRES-B) via confirmatory factor analysis. Using two different samples (undergraduates and community sample from Greece) data from 667 individuals were collected. Three models were specified: the five-factor model (marital, parental, socialinterpersonal-heterosexual, employment, and educational roles); the two-factor model (Intimate and Formal); and the single-factor model (Global factor). The findings indicated that the two-factor model had the best fit. The corresponding alpha coefficients were .94 and .92 respectively, with .96 for the total scale. Results also showed that women, young individuals, well educated persons, and people residing in cities were more egalitarian. No differences between the two samples were found.

Training Experiences as Mediators of the Association Between Gender-Role Egalitarianism and Women’s Adjustment to Marine Recruit Training

“…Although this is a particular American context, and American culture likely influences both egalitarianism and the boot camp experience, this research may be relevant to women's experiences in other countries, as women are a growing presence in traditionally male-dominated military, educational, and business institutions worldwide. Our measure of gender-role attitudes, the SRES (King and King 1983;King and King 1993), has been translated into a number of languages and normed on different populations worldwide, making it particularly relevant to international researchers (Katenbrink 2006;Pavlou et al 2008;Ui and Matsui 2008).…”

Examining the Relationship Between Young Boxers' Attitudes Towards Gender Roles and Athlete Identities

“…However, the majority of research on young individuals in Turkey indicates that males tend to adopt more non-egalitarian roles (Çetinkaya Kodan, 2013;Ergin et al, 2019;Palas Karaca & Çubukçu Aksu, 2020;Uçar et al, 2017). This is supported by various studies that have consistently shown that young women tend to exhibit more egalitarian attitudes than young men (Askari et al, 2010;Dotti Sani & Quaranta , 2017;Freund et al, 2013;Marcos & Bahr, 2001;Pavlou et al, 2008). For instance, Dotti Sani and Quaranta (2017) found that even in adolescence, young women show more egalitarian attitudes than young men and avoid conforming to traditional gender roles.…”
