Title: RE: Means of semantic differential scales
Jay Tanzman got chewed out by his boss for averaging a 7 point ordinal scale. Generally it is not a good idea to argue with your boss, but perhaps you might ask what was the grade point average that he or she received in college. When you hear

DMR, I should have read your previous posting more carefully. I have now had
coffee.

is a question that has an extent response format. The cognitive schema the
response format tries to invoke might be reinforced by anchoring with zero f
I would consider it a unipolar extent scale. Maybe the visual anchor should be
0 to 6 to aid association with the number line concept.

these contain more information than simply ordinality ... they give you
some indication of amount of stress too
differentiate this sort of item and response from:
rank order your
i think we are all missing the main point
if you have a number of these items where, your goal (perhaps) is to SUM
them together in some way ... where one end represents low amounts of the
"thing" presented and the other end represents large amounts of the thing
presented ... then ACROSS items

of course, to be fair to the first jay .. could be simply that his boss did
not like semantic diff. scales ... AND, for none of the reasons the second
