Revision needed? A social constructionist perspective on measurement scales for assessing gender role stereotypes in entrepreneurship
比较了年轻人对创业理想的描述与现有性别角色刻板印象量表（如SDI、BSRI、PAQ）的条目，发现仅有部分重叠，且量表遗漏了激情、团队合作等双性化特质，为量表修订提供了建议。
This article compares contemporary views of who and what constitutes entrepreneurship with dimensions captured in established scales for determining gender role stereotypes associated with entrepreneurship. In so doing, we respond to ongoing debates about the timeliness, contextualisation and predetermination of scales, such as Schein’s Descriptive Index (SDI), Bem’s Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) and the Personal Attribute Questionnaire (PAQ). Our empirical study consists of 422 descriptions of an entrepreneurial ideal provided by a sample of young adults, which we analysed using quantitative content analysis. The comparison between participants’ perceptions and the items captured in the gender role stereotype scales shows only a partial overlap. Although masculine qualities are mentioned, we find various androgynous (e.g., passion, team player , willingness to learn ) qualities of entrepreneurs not covered in SDI, BSRI or PAQ. Based upon this, we can derive several recommendations on how established scales can be revised through future research.
