CHAHIN-PINZON, Nicolás  and  BRINEZ, Blanca Libia. Psychometric Properties of the Gender Ideology Scale in Colombian Adolescents. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.1, pp.81-89. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-1.ppei.

The purpose of this study was to validate the Gender Ideology Scale (EIG) in the Colombian context. The EIG was administered to 313 adolescents (mean age = 14.62 years old). Confirmatory factor analysis failed to verify the original 12-item one factor model. Tree items were deleted (< 0.3) and confirmatory factor analysis results supported a 9-item one-factor structure for the scale (RMSEA = 0.033, NFI = 0.914, CFI = 0.963). The reliability was a = 0.763. According to the results of the study the EIG has been shown to be a valid tool for measuring gender ideology in adolescents.

Keywords : gender ideology; sexism; adolescence.
