The research presented here reports the process of adapting the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI) for use in Russian. The full- and short-form (CMNI-30) versions of the Inventory were tested in two studies. In total, 681 Russian residents participated in Study 1 and 716 in Study 2, which investigated the unidimensional, 10-factor, second-order, and orthogonal bifactor models. The analysis of construct validity indicated that the full version of CMNI did not fit the data. Therefore, we developed a Russian-language CMNI-30 which fitted the data well. The 10-factor model of the CMNI-30 demonstrated good construct validity and fitted the data better than the unidimensional, second-order, and orthogonal bifactor models. However, the subscale Pursuit of Status demonstrated low reliability and captured a low amount of variance in relation to the amount of variance due to measurement error. Full configural and metric and partial scalar measurement invariance were supported for the 10-factor model among straight and sexual minority men. The analysis of the CMNI-30’s convergent validity demonstrated that specific factors of CMNI-30 were related to stereotypes about men, ambivalent attitudes toward them, and traditional masculinity ideology. Taken together, this research provided preliminary evidence for the validity and reliability of the Russian-language CMNI-30 among straight and sexual minority men.
