On the Imputation of Missing Data in Surveys with Likert-Type Scales

The aim of this paper is two-fold: to propose the imputation procedure named ABBN for replacing missing data in likert-type scales and to compare its performance with some well-known imputation methods. ABBN is a hot-deck imputation procedure which modifies the Approximate Bayesian Bootstrap method by sampling the donor in the neighbourhood of the nonrespondent. The comparison among the imputat...

Likert scales: how to (ab)use them.

Dipping my toe into the water of educational research, I have recently used Likert-type rating scales to measure student views on various educational interventions. Likert scales are commonly used to measure attitude, providing a range of responses to a given question or statement . Typically, there are 5 categories of response, from (for example) 1 1⁄4 strongly disagree to 5 1⁄4 strongly agree...

The use of Likert scales with children.

OBJECTIVE We investigated elementary school children's ability to use a variety of Likert response formats to respond to concrete and abstract items. METHODS 111 children, aged 6-13 years, responded to 2 physical tasks that required them to make objectively verifiable judgments, using a 5-point response format. Then, using 25 items, we ascertained the consistency between responses using a "go...
