Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew (Digital) Technique for Areal Measurements of Stonewall Surface RoughnessMary J. ThornbushThis study revisits a method introduced in the 1990 s that was deployed to measure surface roughness through profiles on rock blocks. Measurements were originally taken directly in the field using a micro-roughness meter or a simple profile gauge. The roughness index was obtained in the "deviograms" method utilizing the standard deviation of differences between 38 adjacent height measurements. The … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Primer on the One-Parameter Rasch ModelRandy McCameyThe Rasch measurement model improves on traditional test construction by creating tests in which the person’s ability is independent of the sample of items used and the norm group used to calibrate the test. This article is an introductory review of the Rasch Model and describes properties of the Item Characteristic Curve (ICC) and discusses the utility of having person … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Look at Our Old Attitude ProblemRajvinder SamraAcross the disciplines, attitudes are commonly measured through the use of unidimensional scaling (e.g., Likert scaling). Given that the Likert measurement scale (multiple equivalent items regarding an attitudinal target from which a summated score is produced) and the Likert response format (positive to negative judgements) were developed over 80 years ago, this article questions whether Likert scaling is still optimal … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2014 · 8,057 accessesView PDFCite
