This script implements a computerized version of the 'Ambivalent-sexistische Einstellungen gegenüber Männern (ASEM)' questionnaire as described in Collani & Werner (2014).
Collani, G. & Werner, R. (2014). Ambivalent - sexistische Einstellungen gegenüber Männern (ASEM). In: D. Danner & A. Glöckner-Rist (Eds.), Zusammenstellung sozialwissenschaftlicher Items und Skalen. doi: 10.6102/zis215

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)
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.
