Analysis
The GRBS is a tool designed to evaluate individuals’ beliefs and attitudes regarding gender roles. The questionnaire examines how participants perceive the roles of men and women in society, their expectations for gender-related behaviors, and their acceptance of or opposition to traditional or progressive gender role norms.
Purpose
The main goals of the GRBS are to:
Evaluate beliefs about gender roles: Measure how participants perceive and assess gender roles in society, such as traditional and modern roles.
Examine the impact of beliefs on social relationships: Explore how beliefs about gender roles influence social interactions, family life, and work.
Support the improvement of policies and practices: Provide data that can be used to develop policies and programs that promote gender equality and inclusion.
Scoring
The scoring of the GRBS includes:
Categorization of Responses: Participants respond to questions or statements related to beliefs about gender roles, using agreement scales or other measurement methods.
Total Score: A total score is calculated that reflects beliefs about gender roles. Higher scores may indicate more traditional or conservative beliefs, while lower scores may reflect more modern or egalitarian attitudes.
Analysis of Results: The relationship between beliefs about gender roles and other variables is examined, such as social behavior, professional life, and family dynamics.
