For a survey like the Facebook Intensity Scale or the MEIS, what are the ranges for interpreting them? Is it the standard 1.00-1.80, 1.81-2.60, etc.?
A Likert scale is a rating scale used to measure opinions, attitudes, or behaviors. It consists of a statement or a question, followed by a series of answer statements that range from one extreme to another. For example, a five-point Likert scale could have the following options: Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree, Agree, Strongly agree.
There is no definitive answer to how to interpret the Likert scale ranges, as different researchers may use different criteria or methods to analyze the data. However, one possible way to classify the mean of a five-point Likert scale is as follows:
- From 1 to 1.80 represents (strongly disagree).
- From 1.81 until 2.60 represents (do not agree).
- From 2.61 until 3.40 represents (true to some extent).
- From 3:41 until 4:20 represents (agree).
- From 4:21 until 5 represents (strongly agree).
This is just one example of how to interpret the Likert scale ranges, and it may not apply to every survey or context. You should also consider other factors such as the distribution of responses, the reliability and validity of the scale, and the research objectives when analyzing the data.
