Summated Rating Scale Construction: An Introduction van Paul E. Spector is een Engelstalig gedrukt boek. Deze titel is geschikt voor studenten in het hoger onderwijs.
When a social scientist conducts a survey, the goal is to develop a rating on some attitude, value, or opinion-a summated rating scale. Aimed at helping researchers construct more effective summated rating scales, Spector shows how to determine the amount of items necessary, the appropriate amount of response categories, the most productive wording of items, how to sort good items from bad (including item-remainder coefficients and Cronbach's alpha), and how to validate a scale, including dimensional validity from factor analysis. This accessible book concludes with a step-by-step account of how to develop a summated rating scale based on classical test theory.
Intended for the social scientist who must develop a rating on attitudes, values and opinions, this text provides information on the construction of more effective scales. It includes information on how to validate a scale and how to develop a summated rating scale based on classical test theory.
