Popis: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the dimensionality of a Greek-language version of the Sex Role Egalitarianism Scale—Form B (SRES-B) via confir- matory factor analysis. Using two different samples (under- graduates and community sample from Greece) data from 667 individuals were collected. Three models were speci- fied: the five-factor model (marital, parental, social- interpersonal-heterosexual, employment, and educational roles); the two-factor model (Intimate and Formal); and the single-factor model (Global factor). The findings indicated that the two-factor model had the best fit. The corresponding alpha coefficients were .94 and .92 respec- tively, with .96 for the total scale. Results also showed that women, young individuals, well educated persons, and people residing in cities were more egalitarian. No differ- ences between the two samples were found.
