Factor Structure of a Multidimensional Gender Identity Scale in a Sample of Chinese Elementary School Children

Table 1

Internal consistency reliability of the four-scale gender identity measure for the current Chinese sample and zero-order correlations among scales.

Scales	Alpha		Correlations
	Chinese sample (𝑛=366)	American sample^a; (𝑛=235)	TYP	CONT	PRES
TYP	0.61	0.78	1
CONT	0.50	0.79	0.45**	1
PRES	0.77	0.92	0.03	0.16**	1
BIAS	0.71	0.73	0.05	−0.03	0.28**

Note: TYP: gender typicality scale; CONT: gender contentment scale; PRES: felt pressure scale; BIAS: intergroup bias scale *𝑃<.05. **𝑃<.01.
