Development of the 20-item Multidimensional Attitude Toward Older Adults Scale(Matoas-20)
Assessing ageism is crucial for addressing negative attitudes toward older adults in gerontological education and training. We sought to develop a brief psychometrically sound scale to measure attitudes toward older adults based on conventional ageism conceptualizations (stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination) within an in-group vs. out-group framework. Survey data from 700 undergraduate students were analyzed to develop the MATOAS-20. The ps…

Many Analysts, One Data Set
Twenty-nine teams involving 61 analysts used the same data set to address the same research question: whether soccer referees are more likely to give red cards to dark-skin-toned players than to light-skin-toned players. Analytic approaches varied widely across the teams, and the estimated effect sizes ranged from 0.89 to 2.93 ( Mdn = 1.31) in odds-ratio units. Twenty teams (69%) found a statistically significant positive effect, and 9 teams (31%…
A Madhouse in Goa
Martin Sherman is best known in the United States for his play Bent, which has become a central work of resistance and liberation in the gay literary and theatrical canon. The popular use of the pink triangle, the badge of gayness in Nazi concentration camps, as a symbol for gay liberation came from the success of Bent. A Madhouse in Goa has never been produced in New York. It opened at the Lyric Hammersmith, in West London, one of the most impor…
