Scoring
“As the neutral scale had poor internal consistency, we report the masculine and feminine scales only. Because feminine preferences were assessed by 3 items and masculine preferences were assessed by 5 items, the score for feminine preferences was multiplied by 1.67 (5/3=1.67) to allow a valid comparison. The sum score range was 5–25 for the feminine and masculine components. Higher scores indicate greater preferences for typical feminine or masculine activities” (Ediati et al., 2015)

Team comments
One of the subscales for this measure, Neutral type of preference, did not reach our threshold for internal consistency. Please see (Ediati et al., 2015) for further information.

Definitions
Face validity: How well a measure appears to represent the construct it is supposed to be measuring.
Convergent validity: How well a measure correlates with other hypothetically-related measures.
Construct validity: The extent to which a measure reflects the construct it was designed to evaluate.
Internal consistency: The extent to which items in a scale capture aspects of the same construct.
Test-retest: The degree to which measurement scores are consistent over a short period of time (usually 2 weeks).
Readability: The ease with which a reader can understand the questionnaire items.
Key
- Green: Meets validation criteria
- Red: Does not meet validation criteria
