Development and evaluation of the Gender Role Conflict Scale Short Form (GRCS-SF).

Abstract

Within the literature on the psychology of men, the gender role conflict (GRC) paradigm has been one of the most productive research programs explaining the impact of restrictive gender roles in men’s lives. Despite recent efforts aimed at understanding GRC from a multicultural perspective, few studies have examined the factor structure of the primary measure of GRC, the Gender Role Conflict scale (GRCS), using diverse samples of men. That was one goal of this research; the second is the development of a short form of the GRCS, the GRCS-SF, designed to address concerns about item content of the GRCS. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the four-factor model of the GRC construct, both as experienced by men of color as well as replicated within the GRCS-SF. Items used in the GRCS-SF reflect greater conflict, increased situational focus, and potential clinical use. The meaning of these findings, as well as their implications for therapy with men, is discussed.
