1.Survey research
A tool or a type of a design

Tool=milgram
Design=robinson

Likert Scaling: summative scaling

The final score for the respondent on the scale is the sum of his or her ratings for all of the items. On some scales, you will have items that are reversed in meaning from the overall direction of the scale.

Forced-choice response scale

A response scale that does not allow for a neutral or undecided value. By definition, a forced-choice response scale has an even number of response options. For example the following would be a forced-choice response scale
1=strongly disagree
2=disagree
3=agree
4=strongly agree

Guttman Scaling: cumulative scaling

•        Develop focus: one-dimensional continuum

•Generate potential scale items
•Rate scale items (Yes: favorable toward the construct, No: unfavorable toward the construct)
•Develop scale: Scalogram analysis
•Administer the scale

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
