Corrigendum to “Objective Assessment of Gender Roles: Gender Roles Test (GRT-36)”: [The Spanish Journal of Psychology 14.2 (2011) 899-911]

Abstract

The authors regret that the above mentioned article contained an error:The following text on page 905:Concerning the levels of internal consistency, it must be pointed out that RT measures present, for neutral items, (α = .85) and for items of both spheres (α = .91). These data show a satisfactory internal consistency, both taking into account their absolute value and carrying out comparative analyses for these types of tests. Among the most wellknown ones, at an international scale, is the Implicit Association Test (IAT). This test shows a value of .80 in the majority of studies (Brunel et al., 2004). When GRT-36 is broken down with respect to spheres and sexes, the values of internal consistency are lowered: domestic female (α = .70) and work male (α = .66). Within this breakdown, it should be remarked that the lower alpha values correspond to categories with fewer items. Should be replaced with:Concerning the levels of internal consistency, it must be pointed out that RT measures present, for neutral items, (α = .85) and for items of both spheres (α = .91).
