Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to adapt the Multidimensional Gender Inequality Perception Scale (MuGIPS) developed by Schwartz-Salazar et al. into Turkish and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Method: In this methodological study, the scale underwent translation–back-translation, expert review, and pilot testing phases. The scale’s construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and its reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and the test–retest method. A total of 322 adults were reached through an online data collection method. Results: The CFA results confirmed that the MuGIPS-TR has a four-factor structure comprising 25 items across the dimensions of health, violence, household chores and care, and public space and power. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the sub-dimensions ranged from 0.73 to 0.92, while the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the total scale was found to be 0.93. The test–retest correlation was positive and significant (r = 0.79; p <0.001). Conclusion: The findings indicate that the MuGIPS-TR is a valid and reliable measure of multidimensional perceptions of gender inequality in this sample. It is considered suitable for research on gender inequality and for use in the nursing field.
