Psychometrics

The psychometric drop down menu item provides the construct validity evidence on the GRCS for researchers seeking reliability and validity information . This file has a complete listing of all 20 confirmatory factor analyses completed on the GRCS with diverse men in the United States and other countries. GRC norms and reliabilities across diverse samples are also summarized in this file. Two other files list the dependent variables that GRCS has been significantly correlated with from 1986-2006. Using 11 topical categories, the authors, their samples, the measures they used are listed for 200 studies completed over a 20 year period. Finally, past studies on the moderator and mediators of GRC are listed for both minority and majority men.

Begin below with viewing Factor Structure, then click Psychometrics in the left menu to view the eight other topics listed in the drop down.

These include: Confirmatory Factor Analyses; Internal Consistency Reliability Data;  Internal Consistency & Reliability for 20 Diverse Samples; Convergent & Divergent Validity of the GRCS Samples;  Normative Data on Diverse Men; Classification of Dependent Variables & Constructs; Authors, Samples, & Measure with 200 GRC Studies; Correlational, Moderators, & Mediator Variables Related to GRC
