RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
CHAPTER 11MEASUREMENT
Learning Objectives: The distinction between measuring objects, properties, and
indicants of properties. The similarities and differences between the four scale types
used in measurement and when each is used. The four major sources of measurement error. The criteria for evaluating good measurement.

CHAPTER 12MEASUREMENT SCALES
Learning Objectives: The nature of attitudes and their relationship to behavior. The critical decisions involved in selecting an appropriate
measurement scale. The characteristics and use of rating, ranking, sorting, and
other preference scales.

Rater Errors12-33
Error of central tendency
Error of leniency
•Adjust strength of descriptive adjectives
•Space intermediate descriptive phrases farther apart
•Provide smaller differences in meaning between terms near the ends of the scale
•Use more scale points
Rater Errors12-34
Primacy EffectRecency Effect
Reverse order of alternatives periodically or randomly
Halo Effect
• Rate one trait at a time
• Reveal one trait per page
• Reverse anchors periodically
