4easurement and scales4easurement is the "rocess of assi!nin! numbers to the "ro"erties of
em"irical e%ents obCects "ersons etc. in com"liance ith a set of rules.
Scale may be dened as any series of items that are arran!es "ro!ressi%ely
accordin! to %alue or ma!nitude into hich an item can be "laced accordin!to its +ualication
2 ma""in! rules
1) Nominal scale of measurement#) 0rdinal scale of measurement&) *nter%al scale of measurement2) Ratio scale of measurement
3haracteristics of measurement
1) 3lassication: numbers are used to !rou" or sort res"onses. No ordere/ists
#) 0rder: numbers are ordered or ranked&) Distance: di7erence beteen numbers are ordered2) 0ri!in: the number series has a uni+ue ori!in and is indicated by the
number ?ero. (his is an absolute and meanin!ful ?ero "oint.
Nominal scale of measurement
(his scale of measurement refers to the ra data bein! labeled usin!
numbers. Statistical measurements ill not hel" in drain! analysis from the
nominal scale
0rdinal scale of measurement
A""ro"riate measure of central tendency is median. A""ro"riate measure of
dis"ersion is inter+uartile de%iation or +uartile de%iation. 4ostly consumerL
oriented research and attitude measurement rely on ordinal data.
*nter%al scale of measurement
hen data has only & characteristics out of the 2 $classication order
distance ori!in) ith the absence of ori!in it is knon as inter%al scale of
measurement
e.!. > O3 #& OK O3 #;> OK 12 O3 #=2 OK
the numbers are assi!ned to arran!e obCects accordin! to their ma!nitudes
as ell as also distin!uish the ordered arran!ement in units of e+ual
inter%als. *nter%al scale ,lacks a true ?ero or uni+ue natural ori!in-Q it does
not ha%e the ca"acity to measure the com"lete absence of a characteristic.

A""ro"riate measure of central tendency is mean. A""ro"riate measure of
dis"ersion is standard de%iation.
Ratio scale of measurement
A scale ha%in! absolute +uantities instead of relati%e +uantities and
"ossessin! an absolute ?ero here%er there is an absence of a !i%en
attribute is knon as ratio scale. Ratio scale re"resents the actual amount of
%ariables. 4ost of the statistics techni+ues are usable ith ratio scales. e
can do multi"lication and di%ision on such dataQ !eometric mean and
harmonic mean can be used as measures of central tendency. 3oeHcient of
%ariation can be calculated.

items. (his is re+uired "articularly hen chan!es in attitudes or other
hy"othetical constructs are under in%esti!ation
3riterion %alidity
*t refers to the ability of some measure to correlate ith other measures of
the same construct. *t is assessed hen one is interested in determinin! the
relationshi" of scores on a test to a s"ecic criterion. (his form of %alidityreMects the success of measures used for some em"irical estimatin!

calculate the correlation beteen ratin!s of to obser%ers.
*nternal consistency reliability
*n *nternal consistency reliability estimation e use the sin!le measurement
instrument administered to a !rou" of "eo"le on one occasion to estimate
reliability. *n e7ect e Cud!e the reliability of the instrument by estimatin!
ho ell the items that reMect the same construct yield similar results. (here
are a ide %ariety of internal consistency measures that can be used such
as:
1) S"lithalf reliability: it in%ol%es s"littin! a test into to e+ui%alent
hal%es and checkin! the consistency of the scores obtained from theto hal%es.
#) 3ronbachBs al"ha: it can be used hen test items are +uantitati%e and
hen they are dichotomous. Researchers "refer to use coeHcient
al"ha hen they ant an estimate of the reliability of a homo!eneous
test.

Alternati%e form reliability:
ach of the to tests must be desi!ned to measure the same thin! but
should di7er in a systematic ay. (he alternati%e form method is %ieed as
su"erior to the retest method because a res"ondentBs memory of test items
is not as likely to "lay a role in the data recei%ed. 0ne draback of thismethod is the "ractical diHculty in de%elo"in! test items that are consistent
in the measurement of a s"ecic "henomenon.
