 The next kind of question we want to deal with in type form is what I'm loosely calling measurement questions. That includes ratings like one to five stars for a movie. It includes rating or opinion scales like strongly disagree to strongly agree. And it also includes a free form text for numbers. And I'll give you a short example of each. Now what I've done here is I've created a sample type form already that I just based on the other ones I took away most of the material and changed a little bit of text on the beginning. But I'm going to come right here and just delete this question, which I don't need anymore. So now I have just the name question in here. I'm going to start by bringing in a rating question that's right over here. I'm going to drag that in. And there we go. And then I'm just going to ask a question that I want people to give sort of like a, you know, thumbs up thumbs down kind of thing. So I'm just going to paste in a short question here. How much do you like playing volleyball? And then what it does down here is I have the option of adding a short description if I want to but people understand how this one works. So I don't feel I need to do anything. I get to choose how many steps or like how many stars there are. And it can go as high as well 10 stars and that's a lot to type. So that's not what people are usually accustomed to. I'm going to come down to a lower value five is very common in a lot of situations. So I'm going to leave it that I have many choices for what the shape is. I think there are 17 choices. And you can see what all these choices look like. I'm doing volleyball. So I might as well pick a circle because it vaguely resembles a volleyball. And then I can stick in an image if I want to I don't need to I can make it required. And again, you don't usually want to do that. People like it better when they don't feel coerced into answering questions. I'm just going to hit save. Great. Then I'm going to fill out just a couple of more rating questions because they're quick and easy and they're very common in research. So we'll get some additional examples. I'll come back here to rating and drag it over. And this time I'll ask a slightly different question. Now as I am making this recording today happens to be November 2, which you may know is the day of the dead El Dia de Muertos. And great holiday. And you might want to ask a question about this except I'm going to do something slightly different than I did before. I'm going to make it a few more I can bring it up to nine. Now I don't want to go to 10. Because if you do nine people can answer with the single digit numbers they can just type in a one or two or three. And so it's really easy to enter especially if they have a 10 key keyboard. But I'm going to change the shape. It's the day of the dead. And so to me it makes a lot more sense to use this one down here at the bottom which is skulls. That's excellent. I think that's all I need there. And then I'm going to finish with one more. And what we're going to do here is just one more rating scale. And I'm going to ask this time, how much do you like filling out your taxes? Not necessarily how much you like paying them I have no problem paying my taxes I'm civically minded. But I don't like filling out the forms. And so I'm going to give that an opportunity to have just one. So this really isn't a choice anymore. It's a way of emphasizing that we're going to give this a low rating no matter what. Anyhow, those are rating scales, you can go from one up to 10. And you don't label them because people understand that this means more liking or a more positive evaluation of something. The next kind of question we want to use is what type form calls an opinion scale. Now, in my training, these are better known as Likert scales. After Runsis Likert, the guy who developed them in psychometrics, I personally like to call them rating scales because for me, the term Likert scale has more to do with the questions that you put on the form as opposed to the way that people respond to them. And rating scales just more general and makes sense to more people. But this is where you go for instance, from a one or zero up to a five or a seven or a 10 or something like that. And usually what you do here is you can ask a question or you can make a statement and people rate their agreement. I'll give you examples of each. So we'll begin by asking a question that people get to indicate how well they know something I do this sometimes with scales on what are called fluency versions of fluency. This time I'm going to ask how familiar are you with the fashion designer mutual Prada. And you see, it's set up to be a zero to 10 scale here. And you can vary that by coming down and going up. I actually am going to leave it at a zero to 10 scale. And then what I'm going to do is on the left label, which means under the zero, I'm going to put not at all. And then for the right label, now I realize it says 11 right here, that's because there's 11 points because zero to 10 is 11 points. And we'll say here, completely as in completely familiar. If you have an odd number of rating points, and we do in this case, we have 11, you have the option of putting in a center scale. And you see how it shows up right there under the five. I actually don't like to have that in a zero to 10. I think it's sort of intrusive. And I think people understand the zero meaning nothing or not at all to 10 completely or perfectly. I think that stuff makes sense. And so I'm going to save that question right there. And then we'll ask a different kind of opinion or rating scale. I'll drag it in again, and we'll just set it up a little bit differently. This time, I'm going to make a statement and ask people to rate their level of agreement with it. So I'll just paste this in. Please write your agreement with this statement. I enjoy working with data. Okay, I'm going to reduce the number of choices here, because one thing that's really common in research is to have like a one to five scale. Now I have to do two things here. First off, I can reduce this down to five if I click about there. Now you see, it doesn't go down very far. It wants to have at least that many. And right now it set it up a zero to four. I'm going to come down here and say start scale at one, because a one to five is a little more familiar to a lot of people. And then I'm going to put labels in I'm going to put a left label. I'm going to say strongly disagree. I find it very helpful to put the disagree on the low end or with the low numbers. For the right label, I'll put strongly excuse me, agree. And then in this case, I might put a middle one because sometimes it's not clear exactly what the middle is. In this case, I'm going to simply call it neutral. You could put neither a green or discreet, but that's that's really wordy. This is easier. And so this is the kind of form that you might use very often in an opinion survey, or a personality test. I'll save that one. And then we'll have a number question. I'm going to come over here and drag this in. And what this is, is it's like a short text where you would write, you know, what's your name, except now it allows people to put a number in. So I'm just going to ask a short question here that has a numerical answer, I'll put in how many sides or faces does an icosahedron have. And people simply write in their answer. Now, we have an option here of specifying a range of acceptable answers. Now, I'm going to put down here, that it has to be at least three, because it's going to be a geometric shape. So it has to have at least three sides. So I'm going to put a three there, I could put an upper limit, I'm not going to right now, I don't need to. And those are all my choices here. I'll hit save. And then we have a form that asks rating questions, opinion or rating scale questions, numbers. And actually, I'm going to finish off with a short statement. So I'm going to come over here to statement and drag that in. I just want to wrap things up here, I'm going to put in an answer. In case you were wondering, and that I when I'm writing in text, I use these the curly brackets, the braces to hold information, I'm going to put the name of the respondent right there. So you now know an icosahedron has 20 sides. And for good measure, I will also put in that mutual products, the head designer of Prada, plus she has a PhD in political science, and I always got to support my fellow social scientists. So that's all we need here, I'm going to hit save. And now we have a complete form using these three kinds of measurement questions as well as a closing statement. So let's come up and take a quick look at view my type form. It opens up in a new tab and full screen so you can't see that it's a new tab but it is. And all I got to do is press enter to get going. And it says what's my name, my name is Bart. How much do I like volleyball? I'll give it about a four. How much do you like El Dia de Muertos the day of the dead? I'm going to give that a nine. I love it. How much do you like filling out your taxes? Well, that gets a one that's our only choice. How familiar are you with the fashion designer? Mucha Prada, I'll give myself about a six on that one. And you see how it blinks to show that you're filling it in. It's a nice way of doing it. And then rate your agreement with the statement I enjoy working with data that gets a five and you see blinks and moves How many sides your faces does an icosahedron have? Well, it has 20. Actually, you know, I want to back up just for a second. I realize you can see that it has 20 there, we can talk about how to change that in settings at a later point, so people can't see the following item. I put a lower limit of three, I want to see what happens if I put in an impossible value, which is two, it allows it I hit okay, and then it goes, mer, you must enter a number greater than three. If I had an upper limit, it would say between this and this. So I'm going to enter 20. And it just kind of motors ahead. And there it says it's speaking to me personally, it gives me the information. And this is our completed example type form for measurement scale questions.
