Methods &amp; Materials: The study is methodological research. The research was conducted with 238 nursing students at a public university in T&#xFC;rkiye.
Results: Exploratory factor analysis reduced the total number of items from 41 to 10. 10 items categorized under three factors were determined to explain 57.11% of the total variance. The total Cronbach Alpha value of the scale is .62. The scale consists of 3 factors entitled &#x201C;Male Gender Role&#x201D;, &#x201C;Professional Stereotypes,&#x201D; and &#x201C;Gender Discrimination&#x201D;, which further include a total of 10 items.
