Abstract

Gender role conflict scale for adolescents (GRCS-A) measures the gender role conflict experienced by adolescents. GRCS-A consists of four patterns, namely Restricted affection between men, Restricted emotionality, Conflict between work, school, and family, and Need for success and achievement. The objective of this study was to analyze the factorial structure of the Spanish version of GRCS-A and the factorial congruence with the original version using a sample of 1595 male adolescents from Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León (Spain). Correlations between GRCS-A and sexism and bullying were examined. Age differences in the experimentation of gender role conflict patterns were also analyzed. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis replicated the original factorial structure and correlation analysis showed that Gender role conflict is related to sexism and bullying. Regression analysis showed a significant effect of age over the gender role conflict.
