Gender role beliefs of African American women differ from those of women in other ethnic/racial groups and a culturally valid measure of their gender role beliefs is needed. Three studies were conducted to develop a preliminary measure. In Study 1, focus groups were conducted with a community and college sample of 44 African American women. Transcripts reviewed resulted in an initial pool of 40 items. These items were reviewed by an expert panel and 18 items were retained. In Study 2, an exploratory factor analysis was computed with data from 94 African American female college students. The 18 items were included along with measures to assess convergent and discriminant validity. Nine items were retained. These nine items comprised two subscales labeled Agency and Caretaking. The scales demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity. In Study 3, a confirmatory factor analysis was computed with a different sample of 184 African American female college students. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable fit for the two-factor structure of Agency and Caretaking.
非裔美国女性的性别角色观念与其他种族/民族群体的女性不同，因此需要一种在文化上有效的方法来衡量她们的性别角色观念。我们进行了三项研究来开发一种初步的衡量方法。在研究1中，我们对44名非裔美国女性的社区和大学样本进行了焦点小组访谈。对访谈记录进行审查后，初步列出了40个项目。这些项目由一个专家小组进行审查，保留了18个项目。在研究2中，我们对94名非裔美国女大学生的数据进行了探索性因素分析。这18个项目与评估聚合效度和区分效度的指标一起纳入分析。保留了9个项目。这9个项目构成了两个子量表，分别标记为能动性和照料性。这些量表显示出良好的内部一致性以及聚合效度和区分效度。在研究3中，我们对184名不同的非裔美国女大学生样本进行了验证性因素分析。验证性因素分析表明，能动性和照料性的双因素结构具有可接受的拟合度。
