Development and Validation of the Parents’ Gendered Emotion Beliefs Scale

TURKISH ADAPTATION of PARENTS’ GENDERED EMOTION BELIEFS SCALE: VALIDITY and RELIABILITY STUDY of TURKISH PARENTS

“…The Turkish form of the "Parents' Gendered Emotion Beliefs Scale" developed by Thomassin et al (2019), whose validity and reliability study was conducted for parents with children in pre-school period of 36-72 months and adapted to examine the gendered emotion beliefs of parents, is very useful. The Turkish version of the scale is administered by scoring the items and can be applied immediately without taking the parents' time.…”

“…According to the sub-dimensions, the correlations between the items were found to be r = 0.44 for mothers and fathers in "gender expression", r = 0.44 for mothers and r = 0.30 for fathers in "gender -neutra l expression", and r = 0.65 for mothers and r = 0.58 for fathers in "gendered socialization". As a result of the analyses, all three sub-factors with five items were compatible when mothers and fathers were compared, and it was concluded that the entire scale could be used for both mothers and fathers (Thomassin et al, 2019).…”

“…The Parents' Gendered Emotion Beliefs (PGEB) scale was developed and validated by Thomassin et al (2019) to measure parents' gendered beliefs based on a scale in which parents give information about themselves. PGEB was validated in a sample of 704 parents, comprised of 349 mothers and 355 fathers with children aged 8-12 living in Canada and the USA.…”

“…

The purpose of this study is to analyze the validity and reliability of the Parents' Gendered Emotion Beliefs Scale developed by Thomassin et al (2019) for the adaptation of the Turkish version for Turkish Parents. The study was conducted on a total of 136 parents, including 69 mothers and 67 fathers, with 36 -72 monthold-children in Istanbul province, Bahçelievler district.

The effectiveness of knowledge mobilization on parent emotion beliefs is moderated by parent gender, dysregulation, and family expressiveness.

“…The extent to which familial interactions include the expression of emotion may be related to one's beliefs about the acceptability, or lack thereof, of certain emotions. Consistent with this tenet is research by Thomassin et al (2020), who found that family emotion expressiveness was negatively correlated with one's endorsement of gender-stereotyped emotion beliefs. Similar to parent emotion dysregulation, low family emotion expressiveness might be reflective of stricter emotion rules within the family, which may negatively impact the malleability of emotion beliefs.…”
