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.
