  2. Guttman scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttman_scale

    (For example, a respondent's scale score of 2 implies that that respondent responded positively to questions 1 and 2 and negatively to questions 3, 4, and 5.) Guttman scale, if supported by data, is useful for efficiently assessing subjects (respondents, testees or any collection of investigated objects) on a one-dimensional scale with respect ...

  3. Bogardus social distance scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogardus_Social_Distance_Scale

    The Bogardus social distance scale is a cumulative scale (a Guttman scale), because agreement with any item implies agreement with all preceding items. Research by Bogardus first in 1925 and then repeated in 1946, 1956, and 1966 shows that the extent of social distancing in the US is decreasing slightly and fewer distinctions are being made ...

  4. Scale (social sciences) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(social_sciences)

    The Guttman scale is related to Rasch measurement; specifically, Rasch models bring the Guttman approach within a probabilistic framework. Constant sum scale – a respondent is given a constant sum of money, script, credits, or points and asked to allocate these to various items (example : If one had 100 Yen to spend on food products, how much ...

  5. Facet theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facet_Theory

    The well known Guttman scale [25] [24] (example: 1111, 1121, 1131, 2131, 2231, 2232) is simply a 1-d scalogram, i.e. one all of whose profiles are comparable. The procedure of identifying and interpreting the coordinate scales X 1 ...

  6. Attitude (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_(psychology)

    The Guttman scale focuses on items that vary in their degree of psychological difficulty. Supplementing these are several techniques that do not depend on deliberate responses such as unobtrusive, standard physiological, and neuroscientific measures. [ 18 ]

  7. Mokken scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mokken_scale

    In essence, a Mokken scale is a non-parametric, probabilistic version of Guttman scale. Both Guttman and Mokken scaling can be used to assess whether a number of items measure the same underlying concept. Both Guttman and Mokken scaling are based on the assumption that the items are hierarchically ordered: this means that they are ordered by ...

  8. Patient Activation Measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Activation_Measure

    Developed by Judith Hibbard and colleagues at the University of Oregon, the resulting 13-item measure is a uni-dimensional, interval level, Guttman-like scale. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The PAM has strong psychometric properties, and has been translated into 22 different languages. [ 3 ]

  9. Composite measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_measure

    An example of a composite measure is an IQ test, which gives a single score based on a series of responses to various questions. Three common composite measures include: indexes - measures that summarize and rank specific observations, usually on the ordinal scale; [1]
