ResumenEl estudio tiene como finalidad realizar un análisis de la deseabilidad social de los 60 ítems que contiene el Sex Role Inventory de Sandra Bem (BSRI) elaborado 1974. Esta escala es uno de los instrumentos de medida más utilizados en las investigaciones que analizan los constructos conceptuales relacionados con la identidad de género dado que, el BSRI mide la autoatribución de características que socialmente son deseables para una persona u otra en función de su sexo. Un análisis de estos ítems permite conocer si existen o no cambios en las atribuciones de los roles de género. Para ello, se comparan los valores medios obtenidos por Bem en 1974 con los resultados de esta investigación, a partir de los datos recogidos de estudiantes de la Universidad de Extremadura. El análisis de estos datos refleja que existen diferentes formas de concebir la masculinidad y un solo imaginario para ser mujer.

AbstRActThe purpose of the study is to realize an analysis of the social desirability of the 60 items of the Sex Role Inventory Sandra Bem (BSRI) made in 1974. This scale is one of the most widely used measurement instruments in investigations of gender identity. The BSRI measures the self-attribution of characteristics that are socially desirable for each person based on their sex. An analysis of these items reveals whether there are changes in the attributes of gender roles. The objective is to compare the mean values obtained by Bern in 1974 with our results with students from the University of Extremadura. The analysis of these data shows that there are different ways of understanding masculinity and one imaginary for women.

This Chapter aims to contribute to the deepening of scientific knowledge in the area of active and healthy aging, considering as fundamental the protection and promotion of the rights of the elderly and the safeguarding of human dignity, with a purpose to their effective implementation. In this perspective, on the one hand, we recognize that global and universal demographic aging is increasingly active and participatory in society. On the other hand, we assist in situations of profound vulnerability and risk, through the phenomenon of violence against the elderly, which implies their detection, prevention, investigation, and adoption of social policies and legislation.
