A Critique and Suggested Revision of Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales: Developmental Procedures.

DeCotiis, Thomas A.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v38 n3 p681-90 Fall 1978

The use of the standard deviation of item ratings as a criterion of scale anchor selection is criticized. An alternative criterion based on item intercorrelation procedures is suggested and tested. Results indicate that the alternative criterion does not lead to the negative outcomes of the standard deviation criterion. (Author/JKS)
