Response Differences and Preferences for All-Category-Defined and End-Defined Likert Formats.
Dixon, Paul N.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v44 n1 p61-66 Spr 1984
The influence of scale format on results was examined. Two Likert type formats, one with all choice points defined and one with only end-points defined, were administered. Each subject completed half the items in each format. Results indicated little difference between forms, nor did subjects indicate a format preference. (Author/DWH)
