Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the factorial structure and analyze the parameter invariance of the items of the Conformity to Feminine Norms Inventory and the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory in the Brazilian context. The participants were 724 female and 555 male college students. Participants answered the instruments and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Through confirmatory factor analyses, the original structures composed of first-order correlated factors were tested and partially corroborated. In addition, modifications were suggested to improve the psychometric quality of the instruments. Finally, multigroup factor analyses indicated the factorial invariance with regard to the marital status, sexual orientation, college course area and application mode. These results present initial evidence of the validity of the instruments in Brazil and support their use in future gender studies.
