(2014). Ambivalent - sexistische Einstellungen gegenüber Männern (ASEM). In: D. Danner & A. Glöckner-Rist (Eds.), Zusammenstellung sozialwissenschaftlicher Items und Skalen. doi: 10.6102/zis215 http://zis.gesis.org/skala/von%20Collani-Werner-Ambivalent-sexistische-Einstellungen-gegen%C3%BCber-M%C3%A4nnern-(ASEM) https://publikationsserver.tu-braunschweig.de/receive/dbbs_mods_00001530 https://publikationsserver.tu-braunschweig.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/digibib_derivate_00001530/Document.pdf ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 20 6-point Likert questions on 'ambivalent sexist attitudes towards men'. Question 1-10 score on subscale "hostility", questions11-10 score on subscale "benevolence" The questions can be run with short-item phrasing (default setting) or longer item phrasings (contain more details) Note: Collani & Werner (2014) provided the original questions with a scale ranging from -3 to +3 (excluding 0) but transformed the responses to a 1-7 (excluding 4) scale for data analysis purposes. This script does not explicitly mention the original '-3 to +3' scale to participants and simply provides the anchors for each individual question instead. The responses are coded with the scale 1-7 (excluding 4) in the data files. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes appr. 3 minutes to complete ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA FILE INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default data stored in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'asem_german.iqdat' date, time: date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber subject, group, session: with the current subject/groupnumber/session id build: the Inquisit build q*_response: response given (in assigned values) Scale: 1 (lehne vollkommen ab) - 7 (stimme vollkommen zu); Note: no 4 is used in this scale no reversed scored questions q*_latency: how much time (in ms) the participant spent on the surveypage with this particular question (the last time this particular surveypage was visited) (2) Summary data file: 'asem_german_summary.iqdat' (Inquisit Lab: one data file per participant) inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startdate: date script was run starttime: time script was started subjectid: assigned subject id number groupid: assigned group id number sessionid: assigned session id number elapsedtime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) runShortVersion: true (1): runs the short item phrases (default) false (0): runs the long item phrases hostility: the subscale total for 'hostility' (Hostilität) Min: 10 - Max: 70 (scale: 1-7, excluding 4) benevolence: the subscale total for 'benevolence' (Benevolenz) Min: 10 - Max: 70 (scale: 1-7, excluding 4) ASEM_total: the sum of the subscale totals Min: 20 - Max: 140 The norms are reported based on means and standard deviations based on pooled data of male (N= 60) and female (N=310) participants using the short item scales and the transformed scales 1-7 (excluding 4): z_hostility: z-score of hostility score (using mean and standard deviation reported by Collani, G. & Werner, R.
