This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is observed that Researchers face a lot of difficulties in planning, design, collection, analysis and interpretation of Likert Scale data. Therefore, as an aid for the researchers it is attempted to write a book entitled 'A Comprehensive Guide for Design, Collection, Analysis and Presentation of Likert and other Rating Scale Data' on this subject with the following chapters 1. Basics of Likert Scale 2. General Issues of Likert Scaling 3. Templates for Creating Likert Scales 4. Basic Concepts of Measurement 5. Analysis of Likert Data 6. Appropriate Chart or Graph for Likert scale 7. Likert Scale Data Analysis with Statistical Software.This book discusses various efforts to identify, collect, analyse, improve, and present Likert data collected by rating scales such as Likert Scale. Most importunately the book illustrates, review, and critique several forms of collection, analysis, graphical presentation and interpretation of results from studies using rating scales. The most salient and striking features covered in this book are as followsDifferences between Likert-type or Likert scale dataLikert-type data is an ordinal data, therefore, non-parametric tests such as Mann Whitney-U test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Kruskal-Wallis test should be used in lieu of parametric tests.Likert scale data, on the other hand, are analysed as interval data. and analysis that can be performed includes mean for central tendency, standard deviations for variability, Pearson's r for bivariate analysis, t-test and ANOVA for comparing group means, and regression procedures for associations.For Likert-type data mode or median is used for measuring central tendency and frequencies for variability. Analysis appropriate for ordinal scale items that includes the chi-square measure of association, Kendall Tau B, and Kendall Tau C.The dispute over the use of parametric versus non-parametric methods for the analysis of Likert scale ordinal data has raged for the past eight decades is discussed fully and suggested the right one.Focuses on validity, reliability and analysis of the Likert ScalePictorial display of several ways in which statistical data may be presented pictorially such as different types of graphs and diagrams is covered.Demonstration for Calculating Descriptive Statistics, Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit, Mann-Whitney U Test, Sign Test, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test and Cronbach's alpha with examples using SPSS.

This book was released on 2009-10-03 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatric clinicians should use rating scales and questionnaires often, for they not only facilitate targeted diagnoses and treatment; they also facilitate links to empirical literature and systematize the entire process of management. Clinically oriented and highly practical, the Handbook of Clinical Rating Scales and Assessment in Psychiatry and Mental Health is an ideal tool for the busy psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, family physician, or social worker. In this ground-breaking text, leading researchers provide reviews of the most commonly used outcome and screening measures for the major psychiatric diagnoses and treatment scenarios. The full range of psychiatric disorders are covered in brief but thorough chapters, each of which provides a concise review of measurement issues related to the relevant condition, along with recommendations on which dimensions to measure – and when. The Handbook also includes ready-to-photocopy versions of the most popular, valid, and reliable scales and checklists, along with scoring keys and links to websites containing on-line versions. Moreover, the Handbook describes well known, structured, diagnostic interviews and the specialized training requirements for each. It also includes details of popular psychological tests (such as neuropsychological, personality, and projective tests), along with practical guidelines on when to request psychological testing, how to discuss the case with the assessment consultant and how to integrate information from the final testing report into treatment. Focused and immensely useful, the Handbook of Clinical Rating Scales and Assessment in Psychiatry and Mental Health is an invaluable resource for all clinicians who care for patients with psychiatric disorders.

This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Items with ordered response categories are common in survey research, such as when respondents are asked how much they agree with certain statements. But how large are the differences between categories of response, and how well do they distinguish between respondents? This volume is the first to introduce the evaluation of rating scales to an audience of survey researchers. Evaluating Rating Scale Functioning for Survey Research provides researchers with an overview of rating scale analysis along with practical guidance on how to conduct such analyses with their own survey data. Author Stefanie A. Wind presents three categories of methods: Rasch models; non-Rasch Item Response Theory (IRT) models; and non-parametric models, together with practical examples. Tutorials, datasets, and software code (R and Facets) to accompany the book are available on the book’s website.

Download or read book Rating Scales in Parkinson's Disease written by Cristina Sampaio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, the need to develop valid tools to evaluate signs and symptoms of Parkinson Disease (PD) has been present. However the understanding of all intricacies of rating scales development was not widely available and the first attempts were relatively crude. In 2002, the Movement Disorders Society created a task force to systemize the measurement of Parkinson's Disease. Since then, the Task Force has produced and published several critiques to the available rating scales addressing both motor and non-motor domains of Parkinson Disease. Additionally the task force initiated a project to develop a new version of the UPDRS, the MDS-UPDRS. But none of this was made available in one convenient source. Until now. Rating Scales in Parkinson's Disease is written for researchers from the medical and social sciences, and for health professionals wishing to evaluate the progress of their patients suffering from Parkinson Disease. The book is both exhaustive in the description of the scales and informative on the advantages and limitations of each scale. As such, the text clearly guides readers on how to choose and use the instruments available. Extensive cross-referenced tables and charts closely integrate the parts of the book to facilitate readers in moving from one symptom domain to another.

Download or read book Invariant Measurement with Raters and Rating Scales written by George Engelhard Jr. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to present methods for developing, evaluating and maintaining rater-mediated assessment systems. Rater-mediated assessments involve ratings that are assigned by raters to persons responding to constructed-response items (e.g., written essays and teacher portfolios) and other types of performance assessments. This book addresses the following topics: (1) introduction to the principles of invariant measurement, (2) application of the principles of invariant measurement to rater-mediated assessments, (3) description of the lens model for rater judgments, (4) integration of principles of invariant measurement with the lens model of cognitive processes of raters, (5) illustration of substantive and psychometric issues related to rater-mediated assessments in terms of validity, reliability, and fairness, and (6) discussion of theoretical and practical issues related to rater-mediated assessment systems. Invariant measurement is fast becoming the dominant paradigm for assessment systems around the world, and this book provides an invaluable resource for graduate students, measurement practitioners, substantive theorists in the human sciences, and other individuals interested in invariant measurement when judgments are obtained with rating scales.

Download or read book An Introduction To the Logic of Psychological Measurement written by Joel Michell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book declines to take for granted the widespread assumption that existing psychometric procedures provide scientific measurement. The currently fashionable concepts of measurement within psychology -- operationalism and representationalism -- are critically examined, and the classical view, that measurement is the assessment of quantity, is defended. Within this framework, it is shown how conjoint measurement can be used to test the hypothesis that variables are quantitative. This theme is developed in detail using familiar psychological examples, such as Thurstone's law of comparative judgment, multidimensional scaling, and Coombs' theory of unfolding.
