Title | An Evaluation Of Response Scale Formats Of The Culture Assessment Instrument | |
Creator | Smith, Stan Roodt, Gert | |
Description |
The aim of the study was to investigate which response scale, of the four, five, or six-point response scales would yield the best metric properties on the Culture Assessment Instrument. This was achieved by utilising data sets where the respective scales were used. The subjects included participants of various organisations, ages, educational levels, language and gender groups. No one scale could be identified as having the better metric properties. The lack of conclusive results is attributed to differences in education, aggregation effect, possibility of different units of measurement being measured and the manner in which Cronbach Alpha is calculated OpsommingDie doel van die studie was om vas te stel watter responsskaal, van ‘n vier-, vyf-, of sespuntskaal die beste metriese eienskappe sou oplewer op die Kultuurtakseringinstrument. Dit is bereik, deur gebruik te maak van datastelle waar die skale toegepas is. Deelnemers was afkomstig uit verskeie organsisasies, ouderdomsgroepe, opvoedkundige agtergronde, taalgroepe en geslagte. Geen skaal kon gëidentifiseer word met onderskeidende metriese eienskappe nie. Die gebrek aan beduidende resultate word toegeskryf aan die verskille in die opvoedkundige agtergronde van deelnemers, samevoegingseffek, die moonlikheid van verskillende eenhede van meting en die wyse waarop Cronbach Alpha bereken is. |
