評定量表標示語之心理量尺值研究：頻率及同意度詞

SCALE VALUES OF ANCHOR LABELS IN CHINESE RATING SCALES: RESPONSES ON FREQUENCY AND AGREEMENT

本研究旨在探討評定量表標示語的心理量尺值，並比較不同方法所估計量尺值的異同。瞭解不同量表標示語在受試者心目中的量尺值，可以作為將來編製相關量表之參考。本研究探討頻率與同意程度兩類反應的標示語。由國內相關文獻回顧發現，同意類標示語依其用詞可再分為同意度標示語、符合度標示語，與贊成度標示語三種。本研究以連續區間法和簡化連續區間法，以及平均數和中位數分別估計各類修飾語之每一標示語的心理量尺值，並發現四種方法估計的量尺值相關極高。文中亦討論本研究之限制以及未來研究方向。

The psychological scale values of labels describing frequency of occurrence and degrees of agreement used in Chinese rating scales are estimated. Scales values obtained by different scaling methods are compared. Construction of the scale values of anchor labels helps investigators selecting appropriate labels for rating scales. The method of successive intervals and the simplified successive intervals scaling method were used to construct the scale values of the labels. Means and medians of subject responses were also used as estimates of scale values. The scale values from these four methods are highly correlated. Limitations of the present study and suggestions for future research are discussed.
