Measurement Scales, Statistical Concepts, and Research Methods in Social Sciences

Measurement Scales

Likert Scales

An ordinal level measurement of a person’s attitude, typically using a 5-7 point scale, allowing participants to indicate how much they agree or disagree with a statement. This method assumes that attitudes can be measured and ranked. It uses ordinal data with two extreme points and a neutral point, making it simple to complete.

Continuous Measurement Scale

Allows for fractional amounts/decimals, which make sense in this context.

Discrete Scale

Only fixed amounts can be

Statistical Analysis of Various Research Studies

One-Sample t-test

– A study was conducted to investigate whether the age of tourists in Katatonia has increased since 1995.

In a random sample of 250 tourists in Katatonia, the average age was 47.77 years (s = 15.41 years). This is higher than the average age of 45 years recorded in 1995, and a one-sample t-test shows that this difference in mean age is significant, t(249) = 2.84, p = .005. The 95% confidence interval indicates that since 1995 the average age of tourists has increased

Regression Analysis: A Guide to Modeling Predictive Relationships

Regression

Regression is a well-known statistical technique used to model the predictive relationship between several independent variables (DVs) and one dependent variable. The objective is to find the best-fitting curve for a dependent variable in a multidimensional space, with each independent variable being a dimension. The curve could be a straight line, or it could be a nonlinear curve. The quality of fit of the curve to the data can be measured by a coefficient of correlation (r), which is
