Few scales in my questionnaire are adopted and others are adapted. I have taken expert opinion for adapted scales. Other than expert oriented pretesting I have also done respondent oriented pretesting. So my question is that do I still need expert opinion for my adopted scales even if respondents' feedback is positive? I read at some place that there is no need of expert opinion for adopted scales. I need more authentic sources to validate this. I will be thankful if anyone can provide me justification for not taking expert opinion for an adopted scale.
