2 Learning Objectives Understand… • nature of attitudes and their relationship to behavior • critical decisions involved in selecting an appropriate measurement scale • characteristics and use of rating, ranking, sorting, and other preference scales
3 Exhibit 13 -1 The Scaling Process
4 Nature of Attitudes Cognitive I think oatmeal is healthier than corn flakes for breakfast. Affective I hate corn flakes. Conative I intend to eat more oatmeal for breakfast.
5 Improving the Predictability of Attitudes Specific Multiple measures Strong Factors Reference groups Direct Basis
6 Selecting a Measurement Scale Research objectives Response Types Data properties Number of dimensions Balanced or unbalanced Forced or unforced choices Number of scale points Rater errors
7 Response Types Rating scale Ranking scale Categorization Sorting
8 Number of Dimensions Unidimensional Multi-dimensional
9 Balanced or Unbalanced How good an actress is Julia Roberts? q Very bad q Bad q Neither good nor bad q Good q Very good q Poor q Fair q Good q Very good q Excellent
10 Forced or Unforced Choices How good an actress is Julia Roberts? q Very bad q Bad q Neither good nor bad q Good q Very good q No opinion q Don’t know
11 Number of Scale Points How good an actress is Julia Roberts? q Very bad q Bad q Neither good nor bad q Good q Very good q Very bad q Somewhat bad q A little bad q Neither good nor bad q A little good q Somewhat good q Very good
12 Rater Errors • Adjust strength of descriptive adjectives Error of central tendency Error of leniency • Space intermediate descriptive phrases farther apart • Provide smaller differences in meaning between steps near the ends of the scale • Use more scale points
13 Rater Errors Primacy Effect Recency Effect • Reverse order of alternatives periodically
14 Dealing with Halo Effects • Rate one trait at a time Halo Effects • Reveal one trait per page • Reverse anchors periodically

17 Multiple-Choice, Multiple Response Scale What sources did you use when designing your new home? Please check all that apply. q. Online planning services q. Magazines q. Independent contractor/builder q. Designer q. Architect q. Other (specify: _______)
18 Likert Scale The Internet is superior to traditional libraries for comprehensive searches. q. Strongly disagree q. Disagree q. Neither agree nor disagree q. Agree q. Strongly agree
19 Semantic Differential
