Scaling Methods
Autor Peter Dunn-Rankin, Gerald A. Knezek, Susan R. Wallace, Shuqiang Zhangen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 apr 2016
This book introduces the major uni- and multi-dimensional scaling method techniques most common in educational, social, and psychological research. Using four primary methods of data collection--ordering, categorical rating, free clustering, and similarity judgments--Scaling Methods, Second Edition explains how such data can be represented in ways that illustrate relationships among the data and help reveal underlying dimensional structures. Each method serves as an independent unit so readers can pick and choose from a variety of easy-to-use procedures and more advanced techniques. The new edition features a new chapter on order analysis and downloadable resources that provide stand-alone, as well as SAS supported demonstrations of multi-dimensional scaling techniques, plus programs to get raw data into matrix form.
The text is written for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in education and the social and behavioral sciences interested in analyzing data resulting from subjective responses, especially in the measurement of attitudes. Each chapter is self-contained making this an excellent resource for use in the classroom or as a self-study tool. A first course in statistics is a helpful prerequisite.

Recenzii
"If you are, in any way, connected with the field of measurement...you have the satisfaction of knowing that the methods of interest to you will be readily available at your fingertips...the authors' have encyclopedic and up-to-date knowledge of the field."
—Shlomo S. Sawilowsky, Ph.D.
Wayne State University
"...this book is one of the few textbooks that have made scaling methodology manageable by students in behavioral sciences who may not have very strong quantitative backgrounds... .It is full of a wide variety of highly useful scaling methodologies and vivid examples. The authors have done an excellent job in explaining and simplifying what could have been potentially complicated issues."
