Isi artikel

In many a psychometric problem, particularly in practical problems, the only data conveniently obtainable are the first choices given to certain stimuli among a list of stimuli that are available for selection. By assuming that such choices represent real comparative judgments, we may apply Thurstone's law of comparative judgments, extract experimental proportions from the numbers of first choices, and compute psychological scale values for the stimuli. Two procedures are proposed for estimating such proportions and examples of their applications are given. A procedure for allocating a meaningful zero point on the scale by the use of absolute judgments is explained and demonstrated. Suggestions are added for overcoming certain weaknesses and limitations of the method of choices.
