Borderline words & irrelevant/pointless words Explanation: I believe reading and understanding the entire article is essential for creating a paralleled scale, say, from "well-established to irrelevant". |

neutral and not applicable (N/A) Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likert_scale See the link for an explanation of this scale. What we have in the question is a 5-item Likert question with an additional sixth option which is: N/A (not applicable) Most Likert questions are odd-numbered with the middle items always being "neutral" (or some similar meaning) with equal numbers of "positive" and "negative" options on either side. Sometimes you will see an additional "N/A" in case the respondent feels the question is not applicable. For this question I would recommend just using "neutral" for بینابینی Also, I would not repeat "word" with each item...for example: This word xxx is: 1. well-established 2. somewhat well-established 3. neutral 4. somewhat not well-established 5. not well-established 6. not applicable (Personal comment...I find the items a bit strange...how do we distinguish between (تقریباً) جاافتاده، and واژگانت (تقریباً)جانیفتاده) |
