Our paper analyzes butchers preferences toward the attributes and levels for fresh rabbit meat. We compare results obtained from alternatives approaches of data collection: a) the traditional pair wise comparison of AHP (AHP1) and b) the direct valuation by mean of a 9 point likert scale transformed in a a subsequent step to estimate AHP (AHP2). The data used in this analysis was obtained from ...

In this paper the use of the Rasch model is explored as a transparent, systematic and theoretically underpinned response to quality issues that are widely recognised as problematic in the refinement of Likert scale questionnaires. Key issues are the choice of length of scale, the pursuit of a favourable estimate of Cronbach’s alpha at the possible expense of construct validity, and the fact tha...

The application of statistical methods to data analysis requires that the data set concerned should follow some particular assumptions. For example, AVOVA assumes that the response variable is normally distributed within groups, and the variances in the different groups are identical. However such assumptions are generally not observed by data collected through Likert Scales. This paper present...

The most popular attempt has been the adoption of Likert-type (typically five point) scales for rating people on certain dimensions or competencies. In order to achieve any degree of accuracy from these Likert scaling procedures, considerable training of all raters...

Opinion-based questionnaires on Likert scales are commonly used in assessing health care utilization, facilitating factors and barriers. There is a need to set up a cut-off point in them to arrive at a conclusion. It is also important to set up a cut-off point on overall items in Likert scalebased questionnaires used for assessing Knowledge, Attitude and Practice. In this article, we show how t...
