Objective

The objectives of the Hyper Gender Ideology Scale are:
Assessment of Extreme Beliefs: To measure individuals’ tendency to adopt extreme or exaggerated beliefs about social roles and gender characteristics.
Understanding Attitudes and Beliefs: To understand how these exaggerated beliefs influence behavior, interpersonal relationships, and social interaction.
Examining Effects: To analyze how hyper gender ideology relates to other psychological or social variables, such as attitudes toward gender equality and power relations.

Analysis

The analysis of data from the Hyper Gender Ideology Scale includes:
Data Collection: Participants respond to questions related to exaggerated or extreme beliefs about gender roles and social expectations.
Categorization of Attitudes: Responses are categorized to identify the main dimensions of hyper gender beliefs.
Statistical Analysis: Statistical methods are used to analyze the data and examine relationships between hyper gender beliefs and other parameters, such as education, age, and social roles.

Scoring

The scoring of the Hyper Gender Ideology Scale includes:
Use of Likert Scales: Participants rate statements related to exaggerated gender beliefs on Likert scales (e.g., from 1 to 5), measuring the intensity of their agreement or disagreement.
Calculation of Indices: Responses are aggregated to calculate indices of hyper gender beliefs.
Analysis of Relationships: The connection between hyper gender ideology indices and other variables, such as participants’ personal or professional status, is examined.
