- The Giscombe Superwoman Schema Questionnaire
Cheryl L. Woods-Giscombe, Amani M. Allen, Angela R. Black, Teneka C. Steed, Yin Li & Charity Lackey (2019) The Giscombe Superwoman Schema Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties and Associations with Mental Health and Health Behaviors in African American Women, Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 40:8, 672-681, DOI: 10.1080/01612840.2019.1584654
The purpose of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of the Giscombe Superwoman Schema Questionnaire. Three separate studies conducted with 739 African American women provided preliminary evidence that the Questionnaire’s factor structure aligns with the Superwoman Schema Conceptual Framework and has good reliability. In addition, it is positively associated with perceived stress, depressive symptoms, using food to cope with stress, poor sleep quality, and physical inactivity. This study provides preliminary evidence to suggest that the Giscombe Superwoman Schema Questionnaire is psychometrically sound; Superwoman Schema is associated with health behaviors and psychological states that may increase risk for illness.
