The lower the value for an item - I am supposing these are average values for individual questionnaire items (2.1, 2.2., etc.) -, the higher the agreement to the item statement.
Interpreting results from a Likert scale involves analyzing the average score and understanding what each score represents in terms of the respondents' attitudes or opinions. In this case, the Likert scale ranges from 1 to 4, with the following interpretations:
1 = Completely
2 = Mostly
3 = A little
4 = Not at all
Let's interpret each score based on the results provided:
2.1: "Mostly"This indicates that respondents generally feel that the statement applies to some extent, but not completely.
2.2: "Mostly"Similarly, respondents mostly agree with this statement but may have some reservations or exceptions.
2.6: "Mostly"This score suggests a similar trend where respondents generally lean towards agreement but not entirely.
2.9: "Mostly"Again, respondents are more inclined towards agreement, but there might be some aspects where they don't fully agree.
3.3: "A little"This score suggests that respondents feel the statement applies to a small extent, but not significantly.
Scores closer to 1 indicate stronger agreement (either "completely" or "mostly").
Scores closer to 2 indicate agreement but with some reservations or exceptions.
Scores closer to 3 indicate partial agreement ("a little").
Scores closer to 4 indicate disagreement ("not at all").
Therefore, based on the scores provided:
The statements represented by scores 2.1, 2.2, 2.6, and 2.9 are generally agreed upon to some extent, with varying degrees of certainty.
The statement represented by score 3.3 is acknowledged to apply to a minor extent.
The statement represented by score 1.9 is fully agreed upon.
This interpretation provides insight into how respondents perceive or feel about the statements measured by the Likert scale, allowing for a nuanced understanding of their attitudes or opinions on those specific items.
