Abstract

Zhang and Savalei proposed an alternative scale format to the Likert format, called the Expanded format. In this format, response options are presented in complete sentences, which can reduce acquiescence bias and method effects. The goal of the current study was to compare the psychometric properties of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) in the Expanded format and in two other alternative formats, relative to several versions of the traditional Likert format. We conducted two studies to compare the psychometric properties of the RSES across the different formats. We found that compared with the Likert format, the alternative formats tend to have a unidimensional factor structure, less response inconsistency, and comparable validity. In addition, we found that the Expanded format resulted in the best factor structure among the three alternative formats. Researchers should consider the Expanded format, especially when creating short psychological scales such as the RSES.

比较三种李克特和三种替代格式量表的心理测量特性:在罗森博格自尊量表中的应用。
Zhang和Savalei提出了一种替代李克特量表格式的量表格式,称为扩展量表格式。在这种格式中,回答选项以完整的句子形式呈现,可以减少默认偏见和方法效应。本研究的目的是比较罗森博格自尊量表(RSES)的扩展格式和其他两种可选格式的心理测量特性,相对于传统李克特格式的几个版本。我们进行了两项研究来比较不同格式的RSES的心理测量特性。研究发现,与李克特问卷相比,备选问卷具有单向度的因素结构、较少的反应不一致性和可比较效度。此外,我们发现在三种备选格式中,扩展格式的因子结构最好。研究人员应该考虑扩展格式,特别是在创建像RSES这样的短心理量表时。
