Abstract

The study objective was to examine the factorial structure, reliability and to provide some evidence for validity of the Spanish version of the Bem Sexual Roles Inventory (BSRI), which assesses self-description in terms of gender traits. A sample of 2,672 Spanish participants, heterosexual adults (1,289 men, 1,383 women) distributed into four age groups (18-25, 26-35, 36-55, 56 years or more), completed a Spanish 40-item version of BSRI. An 8-item scale is proposed with a two-dimensional structure: Masculinity (M) and Femininity (F). Both factors present adequate reliabi-lity. Regarding evidence for validity, men (vs. women) scored higher in M, and women (vs. men) in F. The M scores were higher for the participants aged less than 56 years. No differences were found in the F scores among age groups. We discuss the usefulness of this measure to assess interindividual differences, across sex and age, in the self-attribution of traditional gender traits. El objetivo del estudio fue examinar la estructura factorial, la confiabilidad y proporcionar alguna evidencia de validez de la versión en español del Inventario de Roles Sexuales de Bem (BSRI), que evalúa la autodescripción en términos de rasgos de género. Una muestra de 2.672 participantes españoles, adultos heterosexuales (1.289 hombres, 1.383 mujeres) distribuidos en cuatro grupos de edad (18-25, 26-35, 36-55, 56 años o más), completó una versión en español de 40 ítems del BSRI. Se propone una escala de 8 ítems con estructura bidimensional: Masculinidad (M) y Feminidad (F). Ambos factores presentan una fiabilidad adecuada. Con respecto a la evidencia de validez, los hombres (vs. las mujeres) obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en M y las mujeres (vs. los hombres) en F. Las puntuaciones M fueron más altas para los participantes menores de 56 años. No se encontraron diferencias en las puntuaciones F entre grupos de edad.

Bem性别角色清单：西班牙语短版本的提议

这项研究的目的是审查因素结构、可靠性，并为西班牙版的BEM性角色清单（BSRI）的有效性提供一些证据，该清单从性别特征的角度评估自我描述。分布在四个年龄组（18-25岁、26-35岁、36-55岁、56岁或以上）的2672名西班牙参与者、异性恋成年人（1289名男性、1383名女性）的样本完成了西班牙40项版本的BSRI。提出了一个8项量表，具有二维结构：男性气质（M）和女性气质（F）。这两个因素都具有足够的可靠性。在有效性证据方面，男性（vs.女性）在M中得分较高，女性（vs.男性）在F中得分较高。56岁以下参与者的M得分较高。年龄组之间的F分数没有发现差异。我们讨论了这一措施在评估传统性别特征自我归属方面的性别和年龄差异方面的有用性。这项研究的目的是检查因子结构、可靠性，并为西班牙版的BEM性角色清单（BSRI）的有效性提供一些证据，该清单根据性别特征评估自我描述。分布在四个年龄组（18-25、26-35、36-55、56岁或以上）的2672名西班牙参与者、异性恋成年人（1289名男性、1383名女性）的样本完成了40个BSRI项目的西班牙语版本。提出了一个具有二维结构的8个项目的量表：男性气质（M）和女性气质（F）。这两个因素都有足够的可靠性。在有效性证据方面，男性（vs.女性）在M中得分最高，女性（vs.男性）在F中得分最高。56岁以下参与者的M得分最高。不同年龄组的F得分没有差异。我们讨论了这一措施在根据性别和年龄评估个体间差异以自我分配传统性别特征方面的有用性。
