The objective of this study was to construct and to present validity evidence based on the content of Gender Microagressions in Workplace’s Scale (GMWS). The GMWS is a self- report scale which aims to evaluate microagressions experiences of women in their workplace. Its construction process involved the elaboration of both conceptual and operational definitions which were based on one of the most widespread taxonomies of gender microaggressions, resulting in 55 items distributed in 8 dimensions (sexual objectification, second-class citizen, assumptions of inferiority, denial of the reality of sexism, assumptions of traditional gender roles, use of sexist language, denial of individual sexism and environmental microaggressions). To obtain the validity evidence based on the content, four specialists judges participated, all of them psychologists with characteristics of GMWS’s target public. The data collection occurred online. The consistency between the judges was investigated from the Item-Level Content Validity Index (I- CVI), Scale-Level Content Validity Index based on the average method (S=CVI/Ave), Universal Agreement (UA) and Scale-Level Content Validity Index based on the Universal Agreement method (S-CVI/UA). Of the 55 proposed items, only 3 didn’t present 100% consistency between the judges. Two items were maintained, one of which was transferred to another dimension, and a third item had its wording changed. The GWMS presented positive validity evidence based on the content, constituting itself as the first instrument exclusively focused in evaluate gender microaggressions in the workplace. Further studies are recommended to gather validity evidence based on the internal structure and the relationship with external variables.
