Abstract
This questionnaire examines the way people respond to the same question asked using different answering scales.
Experimental design:
In part 1 respondents were randomly assigned to a condition in which the answering type differed (discrete or ordinal).
In part 2 the answering type that respondents got in part 1 was preloaded to assign them to the opposite condition (variable fl11a001).
Respondents who got answering type 1 in part 1 got answering type 2 in part 2.
Respondents who got answering type 2 in part 1 got answering type 1 in part 2.
Respondents that didn’t participate in part 1 were assigned to a condition randomly in part 2.
In part 2 a selection of respondents was presented “additional questions” at the end of the questionnaire, this as part of an internal project (variable fl11a003).
