“…It is worth noting that the results obtained in this study differ from the ones obtained in a recent previous study conducted on the Russian sample (Krivoshchekov et al, 2021). It evidenced that different elements of TMI, as measured by the MRNI-SF, can be viewed as a single construct.…”

The research presented here reports the process of adapting the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI) for use in Russian. The full-and short-form (CMNI-30) versions of the Inventory were tested in two studies. In total, 681 Russian residents participated in Study 1 and 716 in Study 2, which investigated the unidimensional, 10-factor, second-order, and orthogonal bifactor models. The analysis of construct validity indicated that the full version of CMNI did not fit the data. Therefore, we developed a Russian-language CMNI-30 which fitted the data well. The 10-factor model of the CMNI-30 demonstrated good construct validity and fitted the data better than the unidimensional, second-order, and orthogonal bifactor models. However, the subscale Pursuit of Status demonstrated low reliability and captured a low amount of variance in relation to the amount of variance due to measurement error. Full configural and metric and partial scalar measurement invariance were supported for the 10-factor model among straight and sexual minority men. The analysis of the CMNI-30's convergent validity demonstrated that specific factors of CMNI-30 were related to stereotypes about men, ambivalent attitudes toward them, and traditional masculinity ideology. Taken together, this research provided preliminary evidence for the validity and reliability of the Russianlanguage CMNI-30 among straight and sexual minority men. Public Significance StatementThe Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI) is a popular and widely used measure of one's conformity to masculine norms. However, it has mostly been used by researchers and clinicians in North America. The findings presented here provide evidence that the CMNI-30 might be used in the Russian context to measure conformity to masculine norms.

“…For instance, some statements in the questionnaire may have a different meaning or not be relevant in a cultural group other than the one it was originally developed for and hence show poor cultural appropriateness (Swami & Barron, 2019). An alternative approach to the present study’s approach of focusing on keeping the translated version of the MRNI-SF as identical to the original version as possible is to modify certain statements in the questionnaire, for which cultural appropriateness cannot be assumed (Krivoshchekov et al, 2021). For example, the statement, “The President of the U.S. should always be a man,” may not be as relevant to the German-speaking population as to participants from the United States.…”

Past research reports that endorsement of the traditional masculinity ideologies (TMIs) is associated with a range of individual, social, or health outcomes. However, the studies of such associations have mostly been conducted in English-speaking samples because validated measures are not available in other languages. The present study analyzed the psychometric properties of a German-language version of the commonly used Male Role Norms Inventory-Short Form (MRNI-SF) for assessment of the endorsement of TMIs in women and men. Construct validity was tested in a sample of 656 (45.0% men, 55.0% women) undergraduate students. Convergent and discriminant validity were tested based on responses from a second sample of 99 (23.2% men, 76.8% women) undergraduate students. Multigroup structural equation modeling confirmed the seven-factor structure of the German-language version of the MRNI-SF and it can be recommended for assessment of specific dimensions of TMI. However, gender differences in scale means may not reflect differences between women and men in the endorsement of certain dimensions of TMIs because scalar invariance cannot be assumed in this instrument. In women, convergent validity was supported by positive correlations between the MRNI-SF and the Gender Role Conflict Scale-Short Form, and discriminant validity was supported because no correlations were found between the MRNI-SF and the Bem Sex-Role Inventory. In men, evidence for convergent and discriminant validity was mixed. Taken together, the German-language version of the MRNI-SF has psychometric properties comparable to those of the English-language version and shows adequate evidence of validity and reliability in a German-speaking sample. Public Significance StatementMost research into the associations between the belief that men should behave according to traditional norms for male behavior, and a range of individual, social, or health outcomes has been conducted in English-language populations because validated instruments for the assessment of those beliefs in other languages were not available. The present study translates the commonly used Male Role Norms Inventory-Short Form (MRNI-SF) to German and reports that the German-language version of the MRNI-SF shows adequate evidence of validity and reliability for the assessment of women's and men's belief that men should behave according to traditional norms for male behavior.

“…This assumption is also supported by studies that have indicated that straight and sexual minority individuals have different ideas about men and women. In particular, compared to sexual minority individuals, straight people endorse TMI more (Krivoshchekov et al, 2021;Wade &Donis, 2007). This difference is likely due to straight people expressing more negative attitudes than sexual minority individuals toward sexual minorities.…”

Previous research has demonstrated the existence of gender and sexuality differences in attitudes toward gay people (which in this paper includes both lesbian women and gay men unless specified). However, these studies did not account for people with diverse genders and sexual orientations ascribing different meanings to their gender identification and its potential role in attitudes towards gay people. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between gender identification and attitudes toward gay people among individuals of different genders and sexual orientations. Based on data obtained from 851 Russian respondents, the study reports the exploration of the direct link between two components of gender identification and four components of attitudes toward gay men and lesbians. Results indicated that stronger gender identification, in general, was related to more negative attitudes toward both gay men and lesbians. At the same time, compared to women and bisexual respondents, this link was stronger among men and straight participants respectively. A possible explanation via traditional gender ideologies is discussed.
