Abstract: | This paper examines the effect of alternative scale formats on reporting of intensity of attitudes on Likert scales of agreement. A standard one-stage format and an alternate two-stage format were tested in three separate studies on samples of students in three countries. The two-stage format generated the greatest percentage of extreme-position responses across scales. A test of predictive ability showed that the two-stage format was a better predictor of product preferences. |
