Classical levels of measurement |
-nominal -ordinal -interval -ratio |
|
Nominal |
-data are given names or categories -mutually exclusive -least quantifiable |
|
Ordinal |
-data are given names or categories -not mutually exclusive, but are ordered -only indicate more-or-less relationship; unequal distances |
|
Interval |
-data are given names or categories -not mutually exclusive, but are ordered -meaning beyond indicating more-or-less relationship; equal distance -no inherent starting point |
|
Ratio |
-data are given names or categories -not mutually exclusive, but are ordered -meaning beyond indicating more-or-less relationship; equal distance -no inherent starting point -most quantifiable |
|
Measurement criteria in sport management research |
-reliability -validity |
|
Reliability |
-stability -equivalence -internal consistency |
|
Reliability as stability |
-same test to same person over time -test-retest -intra-rater reliability |
|
Reliability as equivalence |
-equivalent test to same person over time -parallel form -inter-rater reliability |
|
Reliability as internal consistency |
-instrument dependability -alpha coefficient**, split-half, odd-even, KR20 |
|
Validity |
-face -content -criterion -construct |
|
Validity as face/content |
-panel of experts determine if test is measuring what it should be -CVR = (n-N/2)/(N/2) |
|
Validity as criterion |
correlation between new scale of measurement and trait |
|
Validity as construct |
relationship between measures |
|
Does reliability equal validity? |
It is a pre-condition, but no
|
|
Attitude |
enduring disposition to respond consistently |
|
Components of attitudes |
-cognitive -affective -behavioral |
|
Measurement techniques in attitude research |
-rating -ranking |
|
Semantic differential scale |
-affective component -words rather than numbers |
|
Likert scale |
-affective component -summated to produce an index |
|
Questionnaire development process |
-define the objectives -decide a format -write the questions -review the questionnaire -pretest the questionnaire -revise and finalize the questionnaire -gather data -analyze data |
|
Writing the questions |
-criteria -choice order -dealing with don't know or n/a responses |
|
Double-barreled question |
Measuring two things in one question by use of the word "and" |
|
Leading questions |
Questions leading participants to choose an answer they think is right, e.g. "Don't you think...?" |
|
Prestige bias |
Respondents answer questions to feel better about themselves |
|
Branching |
An answer to one question leads to another |
|
Questionnaire flow |
-gain interest -general -most thought-out -sensitive/demographics |
|
Approaches to sampling |
-non-probability -probability |
|
Non-probability sampling |
-advantage - less time and money -disadvantage - no way to analyze the probability for selection; less sophisticated -purposive -convenience** -quota |
|
Probability sampling |
-every unit has an equal chance of selection -advantage - more accurate representation -disadvantage - more time and money |
|

-no ambiguity |
|
Editing process involves |
-verification -completeness -consistency -accuracy -missing by logic -missing by design -missing item -refusal to respond -don't know -inadequate response |
