Talk:Thurstone scale

Untitled
Can someone give an example?
 * I agree, an example would be great. Is it something like "How much do you agree to this statement. Respond with a number between 1 and 5, where 1 is completely disagree and 5 is completely agree"? seriema 16:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No, that is more of a Likertscale; my understanding of Thurnstonescales, although I haven't ever seen them used, is that you make pairs of statements, and count which one 'wins'. 98.227.176.154 (talk) 19:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Here's an example, from Tordella & Neutens (1979): The items are given below, with the value of each item (on a scale of 1-5) in parentheses after the item. The respondents would not know the item's value when they indicate whether or not they agree to the item, but after they indicate their agreement/disagreement, the item values are summed to arrive at an overall score. This scale assesses attitudes toward euthanasia. A person with a terminal illness has the right to decide to die. (4.15) Inducing death for merciful reasons is wrong. (1.65) A person should not be kept alive by machines. (2.44) Euthanasia gives a person a chance to die with dignity. (4.29) The taking of human life is wrong no matter what the circumstances.
