Scaling Attitude Items: A Comparison of Scalogram Analysis and Ordering Theory
Airasian, Peter W.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 35, 4, 809-19, Win 75
Compared two methods of identifying item hierarchies in the evaluation of attitude measures. Scalogram analysis revealed that items did not form a unidimensional and cumulative hierarchy. Ordering-theoretic analysis identified a branched, nonlinear hierarchy which had higher reproducibility and scalability than the linear hierarchy identified by scalogram analysis. (Author/BJG)
