Note. Values in bold font are factor loadings at or above the criteria for selection. The exploratory factor analysis is for the nine items retained after eliminating nine items from the initial item pool to be tested for the Belgrave Gender Role Inventory. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale, allowing respondents to indicate the degree to which they endorse one of the item pairs (bipolar adjectives).
