A questionnaire is a basic tool for collecting information in survey research. Often, these questions are measured using Likert scale. With multiple items on the same broad object, codes could be summed or averaged to give an indication of each respondent’s overall positive negative orientation towards that object.

Likert items and scales are often used in human subject studies to measure subjective responses of subjects to the treatment levels. In the field of human-robot interaction (HRI), with few widely accepted quantitative metrics, researchers often rely on Likert items and scales to evaluate their systems. However, there is a debate on what is the best statistical method to evaluate the differences...

BACKGROUND The Pediatrics Milestone Project uses behavioral anchors, narrative descriptions of observable behaviors, to describe learner progression through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies. Starting June 2014, pediatrics programs were required to submit milestone reports for their trainees semiannually. Likert-type scale assessment tools were not designed t...

The reliability of the fuzzy scale for assessing the responses of a person in an opinion questionnaire (which is usually treated as a Likert-type questionnaire) is analyzed. Thus, a comparison between a classical Likert scale-based questionnaire and its fuzzy rating scale-based version in terms of their reliability is established. For this purpose, some questions of the Grasha-Riechmann student...
