Examining the Structure of the Schedule of Sexist Events: Replication and Extension

Abstract

The current study reexamined the factor structure of the Lifetime and Recent scales of the Schedule of Sexist Events (SSE; Klonoff & Landrine, 1995) and conducted the first factor analysis of the SSE-Appraisal scale (Landrine & Klonoff, 1997) Factor analyses conducted with data from 245 women yielded, for SSE-Lifetime and SSE-Appraisal scales, two reliable factors that can be scored as "Intimate and Personal Experiences of Sexist Events" and "Unfair Treatment across Public Contexts" subscales Data from the SSE-Recent scale yielded three factors that can be scored as "Sexist Degradation and Its Consequences," "Unfair and Sexist Events at Work/School," and "Unfair Treatment in Distant and Close Relationships" subscales Recommendations are made for the future use of these proposed subscales in conjunction with total scale scores in research using the SSE to examine links between reported experiences of sexist events and women's health and well-being.
