  7. Scale Versus Response Scale Scale Response Scale Is used to collect the responsefor an item Results from a process

  8. Scale Versus Response Scale Scale Response Scale

  9. Scale versus Response Scale Scale Response Scale Results from a process

  10. Scale Versus Response Scale Scale Response Scale Is used to collect the responsefor an item. Results from a process. Each item on scale has a scale value.

  11. Scale Versus Response Scale Scale Response Scale Is used to collect the responsefor an item. Results from a process. Each item on scale has a scale value. Item not associated with a scale value.

  12. Scale Versus Response Scale Scale Response Scale Is used to collect the responsefor an item. Results from a process. Each item on scale has a scale value. Item not associated with a scale value. Refers to a set of items.

  13. Scale Versus Response Scale Scale Response Scale Is used to collect the responsefor an item. Results from a process. Each item on scale has a scale value. Item not associated with a scale value. Refers to a set of items. Used for a single item.

  14. Purposes of Scaling • Is the construct or concept a single dimensionalone? • What dimensions underlie some ratings? • For assigning valuesto responses. Hypothesis testing Exploration Scoring

  15. Dimensionality One-dimensional constructs

  16. Dimensionality One-dimensional constructs Height

  17. Dimensionality One-dimensional constructs Height Shorter Taller

  18. Dimensionality One-dimensional constructs Height Shorter Taller Thirst

  19. Dimensionality One-dimensional constructs Height Shorter Taller Thirst Less thirsty More thirsty

  20. Dimensionality One-dimensional constructs Height Shorter Taller Thirst Less thirsty More thirsty Self-esteem

  21. Dimensionality One-dimensional constructs Height Shorter Taller Thirst Less thirsty More thirsty Self-esteem Less More

  22. Dimensionality Two-dimensional construct

  23. Dimensionality Two-dimensional Construct Academic ability

  24. Dimensionality Two-dimensional construct Academic ability Verbal

  25. Dimensionality Two-dimensional construct Academic ability Verbal Worse Better

  26. Dimensionality Quantitative Two-dimensional construct Academic ability Verbal Worse Better

  27. Dimensionality Quantitative Two-dimensional construct Better Academic ability Verbal Worse Better Worse

  28. Dimensionality Three-dimensional construct

  29. Dimensionality Three-dimensional construct

  30. Dimensionality Semantic differential (meaning) Three-dimensional construct

  31. Dimensionality Semantic differential (meaning) Three-dimensional construct Evaluation

  32. Dimensionality Semantic differential (meaning) Three-dimensional construct Evaluation Unfavorable Favorable

  33. Dimensionality Semantic differential (meaning) Three-dimensional construct Potency Evaluation Unfavorable Favorable

  34. Dimensionality Semantic differential (meaning) Three-dimensional construct Potency Powerful Evaluation Powerless Unfavorable Favorable

  35. Dimensionality Semantic differential (meaning) Three-dimensional construct Activity Potency Powerful Evaluation Powerless Unfavorable Favorable

  36. Dimensionality Semantic differential (meaning) Three-dimensional construct Active Activity Potency Powerful Evaluation Passive Powerless Unfavorable Favorable

  37. Types of Scales One-dimensional • Easier to understand • Useful for understanding multidimensional • Many concepts may be one-dimensional • Reflect multiple properties simultaneously Multidimensional

  38. The Major One-Dimensional Scale Types • Thurstone • Likert • Guttman
