Peer reviewedOfir, Chezy; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
Three frequently used response formats are compared via analysis of covariance structures. The cumulative results based on four data sets provided evidence inconsistent with previous research suggesting that these formats are interchangeable. The semantic-differential format is most preferred while in most cases the Stapel format is least…
