Signorella & Liben (1985) The Gender-Stereotyped Attitude Scale for Children (GASC)

A measure was developed to assess children's attitudes toward gender-related materials. Theoretical and methodological reasons for distinguishing attitudes about gender stereotypes from knowledge of gender stereotypes were outlined. Critical features of a gender attitude measure were identified and incorporated into a measure of children's gender-stereotyped attitudes (Gender-Stereotyped Attitude Scale for Children [GASC]). The measure was originally published in Psychological Documents, which changed names to Social and Behavioral Sciences Documents in 1986 and then ceased publication in 1988. This collection includes the original, now out-of-print article, supplementary materials, and information about the posting in PsycTests.
