Gender Role Conflict Scale for Adolescents

Abstract

This study investigated the Gender Role Conflict Scale-Adolescent Version (GRCS-A) and its relationship with the Gender Role Conflict Scale (GRCS), the measure from which it was adapted. Significant correlations between the adult and adolescent versions provided support for the concurrent validity of the GRCS-A. Further analyses revealed that two other measures of male masculinity, the Adolescent Masculinity Ideology in Relationships Scale (AMIRS) and Male Role Attitudes Scale (MRAS), are also significantly related to the GRCS-A. Implications for future research and clinical use are discussed.

Moving beyond essentialism in the contemporary psychodynamic psychology of men: Implications for theory and research.

“…This provided another way to explore the etiology and impact of challenges for males, partially from a dynamic perspective. Studies have suggested that increased scores on the Gender Role Conflict Scale for Adolescents are related to intrapsychic and interpersonal conflict (Blazina, Cordova, Pisecco, & Settle, 2007;O'Neil, 2008).…”

Australian men's help-seeking intentions for anxiety symptoms: The impact of masculine norm conformity and gender role conflict

“…Since GRC was first conceptualised in the early 1980s [ 52 ], researchers have considered the extent of the impact gender role socialisation has on men's behaviour and wellbeing [ [52] , [53] , [54] ]. The detrimental impact of GRC on social and psychological health is also well-documented [ [55] , [56] , [57] ]. Research on the link between GRC and anxiety is somewhat limited.…”
