The article is an extension of the Indian Gender Role Identity Scale (IGRIS)
developed by Basu. It was observed that the items of the gender role identity
scales are subject to variation according to age groups, as the gender role
values change across generation. Three variants of the IGRIS were constructed
for the teenagers (17-19 years), young adults (19-30 years) and married adult
couples (30–50 years). The psychomertric properties of the three variants entitled
IGRIS A, IGRIS B and IGRIS C respectively have been detailed in the article
