(a) is defined as the assignment of numbers to characteristics of objects or events according to rules
______ are categorical scales used to identify, label or categorize objects or persons or events
Nominal scale
Ordinal Scale
Interval Scale
Ratio Scale
______ is a ranking scale that indicates the ordered relationship among the objects or events
Nominal scale
Ordinal Scale
Interval Scale
Ratio Scale
The important feature of _______ over nominal scale is that it indicates the relative position, not the magnitude of the difference between the objects.
Nominal scale
Ordinal Scale
Interval Scale
Ratio Scale
______is otherwise called a rating scale. It involves the use of numbers to rate objects or events
Nominal scale

The "average" number; found by adding all data points and dividing by the number of data points
Mean

chi-square test
The middle number; found by ordering all data points and picking out the one in the middle

chi-square test
The most frequent number—that is, the number that occurs the highest number of times
Mean

chi-square test
A very small _________ statistic means that your observed data fits your expected data extremely well. In other words, there is a relationship.
Mean

Mode
chi-square test
This is the step where you actually try to find out the reality by measuring it.
(a)
(a) derive their name from the fact that all ratings are comparisons involving relative judgments. It involves direct comparison of stimulus objects.
A cpmparative scale is also called as (a)
(a) involves the presentation of two objects and asking the respondents to select one according to some criteria.
In (a) ,scaling is done by presenting the respondents with several objects simultaneously and asked to order or rank them based on a particular criterion.
This technique allows the respondents to allocate a constant sum of units, such as points.
(a)
(a) refers to discriminating among a relatively large number of objects quickly
This scale is similar to the graphic scale in that the individuals make their judgment independently, without the benefit of direct comparison.
(a)
The Likert scale is named after (a)
In (a) the respondents require to indicate a degree of agreement or disagreement with each of a series of statements about the stimulus objects.
(a) is a popular scaling technique next to the Likert scale. In this scale, the respondents associate their response with bipolar labels that have semantic meaning
The Stapel scale is named after (a)
The main advantage of (a) is that it does not require a pretest of the adjectives or phrases to ensure true bipolarity, and it can be administered over the telephone.
Identify whether the statement is true or false
Non-comparative scales or otherwise called nomadic scales because only one object is evaluated at a time. Researchers use this scale allowing respondents to employ whatever rating standard seems appropriate to them and not specified by the researcher
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
The constant sum scaling technique uses a rank order procedure in which objects are sorted into piles based on similarity with respect to some criterion.
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
A well-designed research problem constitutes a well-designed measurement process. The process of measurement is a fundamental aspect of any research.
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
Errors in the course of measurement can be traced to a number of factors such as carelessness, negligence, ignorance in the usage of the instruments.
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
If appropriate and defectless instruments are used and care is taken in the process of measurement, only then can accuracy in research be ensured.
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
•In regard to survey-work, where the researcher obtains information through interviews, it is necessary, to judge as to whether the respondent is providing accurate facts or is biased. As situational factors also influence measurement, it is imperative that the researcher adopts his measuring procedures accordingly.
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
An instrument should be conveniently usable with unverifiable validity.
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
Perfection in measurement cannot be achieved if a researcher, at the outset, carries out appropriately, the prescribed tests of reliability, practical acceptability, and validity of his tools of measurement.
true
false
Identify whether the statement is true or false
Point zero is an essential characteristic to measure a ratio between any two variables because in the absence of zero there is a ratio.
true
false
