Abstract
With the use of a weighted consistency coefficient, factor analysis, and criteria for convergent validity, object discrimination, and scale resolving power, an ordinal scale can be uniquely constructed from a set of dichotomous monotone items to most nearly satisfy these criteria. The considerations which are represented in these criteria are necessary constraints for all scale construction.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
