Feminine Inventory of the Self-Concept's Gender Schemas (IFEGA)

The purpose of this article was to elaborate and validate the Feminine Inventory of the Self-Concept's Gender Schemas (IFEGA). Composed by two scales (masculine and feminine scales), this instrument evaluates female self-concept's gender schemas. The sample was composed by female university students. Factorial analysis for both scales (Principal Axis Factoring with oblique and orthogonal rotations) was performed, as well as the internal factors consistency analysis (Cronbach's Alpha), in order to validate the instrument. The results showed that IFEGA´s scales are composed by multifactorial structures. It can be stated that both scales may be used in the evaluation of the female self-concept's gender schemas.
