Why Semantic Differentials in Web-Based Research Should be Made From Visual Analogue Scales and Not From 5-Point Scales
نویسنده
چکیده
In a Web experiment, participants were randomly assigned to 2 semantic differentials either made from discrete 5-point ordinal rating scales or from continuous visual analogue scales (VASs) with 250 gradations. Respondents adjusted their ratings with VASs more often to maximize the precision of answers, which had a beneficial effect on data quality. No side effects like differences in means, higher dropout, more nonresponse, or higher response times were observed. Overall, the combination of semantic differentials and VASs results in a number of advantages. Potential for further research is discussed. Funke & Reips (in press). Semantic differentials made from VASs 3

Different Stroke Scales; Which Scale or Scales Should Be Use?
Background: There has been considerable development in the clinometric of stroke. But, researcher is concerned that some scales are too generic, inherently and the insight may not be provided. The current study was conducted to determine which scale or scales should be used in stroke survivors. Methods: We selected 67 studies which published between January 2010 and December 2018 from Up to d...

To provide more morphological data of I. persa, in this study, morphological characteristics along with scales and otolith were studied. Fish samples were collected from Khorgo spring and transferred to the laboratory. Fish were classified into three class sizes based on standard length. Based on the results, the size of the first class was different in 12 relative traits but did not show a sig...
