The factor structure of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) for an older adult sample was investigated. Confirmatory factor-analytic procedures failed to yield an adequate fit for the orthogonal two-factor model proposed by Bem for either men or women. Maximum-likelihood exploratory factor analyses were conducted separately for each sex. Eight- and nine-factor solutions for men and women, respectively, emerged as the most adequate models representing the observed variance/covariance matrices. Issues are raised regarding the usefulness of median-split-based procedures with the BSRI for purposes of sex role classifications and for assessing age-related changes in personality functioning among older adults. An alternative conceptual and methodological approach is proposed.
对老年人样本的贝姆性别角色问卷（BSRI）的因子结构进行了研究。验证性因子分析程序未能对贝姆提出的男性或女性正交双因子模型给出充分拟合。对每种性别分别进行了最大似然探索性因子分析。分别出现了男性的八因子模型和女性的九因子模型，作为代表观测方差/协方差矩阵的最合适模型。文中提出了关于基于中值分割程序的BSRI在性别角色分类以及评估老年人个性功能与年龄相关变化方面的有用性的问题。并提出了一种替代的概念和方法学途径。
