International Studies Using the Gender Role Conflict Scale

This file lists the 130 international studies that have used the GRCS. International studies on GRC have been completed in 32 countries and the GRCS has been translated into 15 foreign languages.

The international publications on GRC and the translations of the GRCS into different languages are useful to researchers internationally and those wanting to make cross cultural comparisons with GRC.

In 2011, I gave a invited address at the international conference “Future  Perspectives on Intervention, Policy, and Research on Men and Masculinities” in Quebec City, Canada titled  Twenty-five Years of Gender Role Conflict Research: A Thematic and Empirical Summary. This convention presentation addressed the status of GRC research internationally in 2011 and the 59 GRC studies in 20 different countries were summarized. You can view the presentation slides in the drop down below.

The number of studies has doubled since 2011 and the updated list of international research studies is found in this file.
