The Young Adults Form of the Attitude toward Women's Working Scale: Development, Preliminary Validation and Measurement Invariance
Erdem, Devrim
International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, v7 n1 p43-61 2020
The purpose of this study was to develop a scale measuring attitudes toward women's working. In line with this main purpose, two studies were conducted to develop the tool and investigate its psychometric properties in two different samples. The study 1 started with generating item pool, conducting exploratory factor analysis to identify underlying factor structure of the latent variable. In study 1 after testing the structure of measure, a brief 9-item, tri-factor scale for the assessment of attitudes toward women's working was emerged. The study 2 utilized a different sample. In study 2, it was aimed to examine model fit, test measurement invariance acroos gender and investigate reliability. Validity and reliability of the scale indicated that the attitude toward women's working scale (ATWWS) had satisfactory psychometric properties. In study 2, configural and metric invariances of the ATWWS were supported for females and males.
