BACKGROUND INFO
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This script implements a computerized version of the 'Ambivalent-sexistische Einstellungen gegenüber Männern (ASEM)' questionnaire
as described in:
Collani, G. & Werner, R. (2014). Ambivalent - sexistische Einstellungen gegenüber Männern (ASEM).

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.

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)
computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android)
script.startdate: date script was run
script.starttime: time script was started
script.subjectid: assigned subject id number
script.groupid: assigned group id number
script.sessionid: assigned session id number
script.elapsedtime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script
script.completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted);
1 = script was completed (all conditions run)
parameters.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)

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. (2014)
z_benevolence: z-score of benevolence score (using mean and standard deviation reported by Collani, G. & Werner, R. (2014)
z_ASEM: z-score of ASEM total score (using mean and standard deviation reported by Collani, G. & Werner, R. (2014)
p_hostility: percentile score of hostility score
p_benevolence: percentile score of benevolence score
p_ASEM: percentile score of ASEM total score
