Understanding Likert Scale Responses

The video tutorial explains how to interpret a Likert scale result. It begins by defining the categories of the Likert scale, ranging from 'strongly agree' to 'strongly disagree'. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the range and interval, which are essential for creating the scale. It provides a step-by-step guide to constructing the Likert scale with specific intervals. Finally, the video shows how to interpret survey results using the scale, with examples of calculating averages for different questions and determining the respondents' general sentiment.

What is the first step in interpreting a Likert scale result?

• Create the Likert scale

• Calculate the average response

• Define the categories of responses

• Interpret the results

How do you calculate the range for a Likert scale?

• Multiply the smallest and largest values

• Add the smallest and largest values

• Divide the largest value by the smallest value

• Subtract the smallest value from the largest value

What is the interval used for in a Likert scale?

• To interpret the results

• To calculate the average response

• To define the limits of each scale

• To determine the number of categories

What is the upper limit of the first scale if the interval is 0.80?

• 1.00

• 1.80

• 3.40

• 2.60

How is the lower limit of the second scale determined?

• By multiplying the upper limit of the first scale by 2

• By dividing the upper limit of the first scale by 2

• By adding 0.01 to the upper limit of the first scale

• By subtracting 0.01 from the upper limit of the first scale

What is the first step in calculating the average response for a question?

• Subtract the smallest response from the largest

• Multiply all responses

• Add all responses together

• Divide the total number of responses by 2

How many respondents' responses are considered in the example?

• Eight

• Seven

• Six

• Five

What does an average response of 3.29 indicate on the Likert scale?

• Disagree

• Neutral

• Agree

• Strongly agree

If the average response is 3.71, what is the likely interpretation?

• Agree

• Disagree

• Neutral

• Strongly agree

What does an average response of 2.00 suggest about the respondents' opinions?

• Disagree

• Strongly agree

• Agree

• Neutral
