    The Bem Sex-Role Inventory: Proposal of a short version in Spanish
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Gómez Berrocal, Carmen; Cervilla, Oscar; Álvarez Muelas, Ana; Carlos Sierra, Juan
    The study objective was to examine the factorial structure, relia-bility 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, heterosexu-al 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 interindi-vidual differences, across sex and age, in the self-attribution of traditional gender traits.
