Description

The Schedule of Sexist Events (SOSE) is an instrument used for the systematic recording and assessment of experiences related to sexist events and behaviors. It focuses on documenting an individual’s exposure to sexism and on examining the frequency, characteristics, and possible consequences of these experiences.

The instrument can support the structured identification of different forms of sexist treatment and contribute to a better understanding of the contexts in which such events occur.

Objective

The primary objective of the SOSE is to record and assess experiences of sexism in order to examine patterns of occurrence and their possible effects at social, occupational, or personal levels.

The instrument may also be used to identify recurring forms of sexist behavior and to support research aimed at developing prevention strategies and appropriate interventions.

Content

Based on the provided material, assessment may be organized around different characteristics of sexist events, such as the type of incident, the context in which it occurred, its frequency, and its consequences.

The provided description does not specify a detailed subscale structure or a particular number of items. Therefore, the exact format and scoring procedure should follow the version of the SOSE used in the specific study.

Data Analysis and Use

Analysis of SOSE data may initially involve the collection of information about sexist events, followed by their classification according to type and specific characteristics.

Pattern and trend analysis may also be conducted in order to examine the frequency and distribution of these events. In addition, the effects of sexist experiences on social, occupational, or other areas of life may be explored.

The findings may be used to investigate possible risk factors, compare different groups, and support the development of prevention or intervention strategies.

Psychometric Evaluation

The provided material does not report specific indicators of reliability, validity, or factor structure for the SOSE. Therefore, no specific psychometric coefficients can be reported on the basis of the available information alone.

In research applications, it may be appropriate to examine internal consistency, response stability, convergent validity, and relationships with other variables related to discrimination experiences or psychosocial adjustment.

Applications

The SOSE may be used in research on sexism, discrimination, social inequalities, and the consequences of unequal treatment.

It may be applied in social, educational, or occupational contexts to document experiences of sexism and to examine how these experiences are associated with well-being, social relationships, or occupational experiences.

The resulting data may also contribute to the development of policies, educational programs, and interventions aimed at reducing sexist behaviors and promoting equal treatment.

References

The provided material does not include specific bibliographic references concerning the development or validation of the SOSE. It refers more generally to studies on sexist events and their effects, sources on data-analysis methods, policies and guidelines for the prevention of sexism, and statistical studies examining the frequency and characteristics of sexist incidents.

For precise bibliographic documentation of the specific scale, the original source describing the development and psychometric validation of the SOSE would be required.
