Various kinds of rating scales have been developed to measure attitudes directly (i.e. the person knows their attitude is being studied). The most widely used is the Likert scale (1932). In its final form, the Likert scale is a five (or seven) point scale which is used to allow the individual to express how much they agree or disagree with a particular statement. A Likert scale assumes that the strength/intensity of an attitude is linear, i.e. on a continuum from strongly agree to strongly disagree, and makes the assumption that attitudes can be measured. In addition to measuring statements of agreement, Likert scales can measure other variations such as frequency, quality, importance, and likelihood, etc. https://www.simplypsychology.org/likert-scale.html Ordered Response Options Strongly Disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree Very Dissatisfied Dissatisfied Neutral Satisfied Very Satisfied Never Occasionally Fairly Many Times Very Often Never Rarely Sometimes Most of the Time Not At All Occasionally Frequently None Some Far Too Little Quite a Bit Too Little Much Lower Slightly Lower An Extreme Amount About Right Too Much About the Same Higher Always Always All Far Too Much Much Higher Name:___________________ Class Period: _____________ One of the Worst Below average Very Poor Poor Never Rarely Average Above Average One of the Best Fair Good Very Good Sometimes Often All of the Time Not Important Somewhat Important Very Important Essential No Chance Very Little Chance Some Chance Very Good Chance Much Weaker Weaker Stronger None Little Some No Change Substantial Much Stronger
