The Effect of Stimulus Format on Discriminability in School Surveys.

Jaeger, Richard M.; Wolf, Marian B.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v19 n3 p163-78 Fall 1982

The effectiveness of a Likert-scale and three paired-choice presentation formats in discriminating among parents' preferences for curriculum elements were compared. Paired-choice formats gave more reliable discriminations which increased with stimulus specificity. Similarities and differences in preference orderings are discussed. (Author/CM)
