The Aging Semantic Differential (ASD) is the most widely used instrument to measure young people's attitudes towards older adults. This study translated the ASD to Mandarin and examined its psychometric properties. The Mandarin-ASD contains three latent factors (Personality and Mental Health, Societal Participation, and Physical) that have high internal reliability and reasonable discriminate validity. Social work researchers, practitioners and allied professionals may utilize the ASD-Mandarin instrument to measure young people's attitudes towards older adults in China. We issue a call for a universal-ASD that can be applied across different cultural contexts.
老化语义差异量表（ASD）是测量年轻人对老年人态度时使用最广泛的工具。本研究将ASD翻译成中文，并检验了其心理测量特性。中文ASD包含三个潜在因素（个性与心理健康、社会参与和身体方面），具有较高的内部信度和合理的区分效度。社会工作研究人员、从业者及相关专业人士可使用中文ASD量表来测量中国年轻人对老年人的态度。我们呼吁开发一种可应用于不同文化背景的通用ASD量表。
