preselect forms. It’s self-explanatory. If you compel people to make a choice, it’s more likely to be their choice. If you pre-select an answer, they may roll along with inertia. Use the Likert Scale- The Likert Scale is the most popular survey approach that scales responses. It was invented by psychologist Rensis Likert. The psychologist noticed something powerful about surveys. A simple “yes” or “no” doesn’t capture people’s full range of emotions when it comes to answering a question. So, instead of

Likert survey scale was invented by Rensis Likert, who was first to apply this approach in surveys to check attitudes. The main advantage of his method is that it requires less time to develop and is easier to adopt than the previously used survey methods. Moreover, the Linkert’s approach does not require the use of negative wording points, which is why Linkert scale survey has been used so much. “Likert Scaling is a undimensional scaling method. As in all scaling methods, the first step is to define

Research Methods and Methodology A methodological framework was necessary to organise the project in a systematic and rigorous way however this methodological framework must be underpinned by a conceptual framework (Denscombe, 2010), which represents my preferred approach to this inquiry. This framework supposes that firstly, metacognition holds lifelong value for the pupils and will improve their enjoyment and achievement. And secondly, that my teaching can be improved by more inclusion of metacognitive

The proposed study will employ a quantitative survey design approach that will set out to validate a new scale; the Readiness to Collaborate Scale. This study will focus on validation and internal consistency through the use of Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Chronbach’s Alpha (CA). This study will not be testing for reliability. In order to test for test-retest reliability, two assumptions are required. The first is that the characteristic being measured, in this case readiness to collaborate

SCALING TECHNIQUES Learning Objectives Concept of Measurement and Scaling Different Scales in Measurement and their properties Introduction of different type of scaling Techniques Comparative , non comparative Continuous ,Special Rating scales Mathematically derived scales How to Choose a scale Concepts Why do we do scaling? The most common reason for doing scaling is for scoring purposes. When a participant gives their responses to a set of items, we often would like

MEASURING ATTITUDES - Implicit association test – measure of implicit attitudes - All measures of sampling verbal behaviour Social psychologists employ a variety of different measures in attempt to measure attitudes, which cannot be directly measured due to their hypothetical and unobservable nature. However, they are often inferable from behaviour. For example, a negative attitude towards smoking might be reflected in moving away from someone who lights up in your vicinity (behaviour). Attitudes

Chapter 5 QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN AND SCALE DEVELOPMENT Naresh K. Malhotra, Georgia Institute of Technology Introduction This chapter describes the importance of a questionnaire and presents the process for developing questionnaires and observational forms. Guidelines for questionnaire construction are provided at each stage of the process. In addition, commonly used scaling techniques and use of questionnaires in experimentation are discussed and the design of observational forms is presented

Coping Strategies- Problem-focused Versus Emotion-focused Coping strategies refer to the specific efforts, both behavioral and psychological, that people employ to master, tolerate, reduce or minimize stressful events. There are two general coping strategies which have been distinguished. Problem-focused strategies are efforts to do something active to alleviate stressful circumstances, where as emotion-focused coping strategies involve efforts to regulate the emotional consequences of stressful

Communication is a functional, purposeful, and strategic aspect of human socialization. Individuals have the ability make conscious decisions to control their expressive language to manipulate the perceived interpretations of others (Burgoon, Callister, & Hunsaker, 445). As people acquire language, they develop sensitivity to the Gricean maxims of conversation. The first of these maxims is “Quantity I”, or the failure to provide enough information. The second of these maxims is “Quantity II”, or

According to Alzheimer’s Disease International (2012), “ there are 36 million people living with dementia worldwide in 2010 and will increase to 66 million by 2030” (p. 7). There is no treatment and prevention currently available and many elderly people are diagnosed with the dementia. Dementia gradually destroys the cells in the brain responsible for memory, thinking, judgment, and behavior. The day-to-day activities and simple tasks can be confusing and frustrating for the dementia patient, reducing
