Scale Construction refers to the creation of empirical measures for theoretical constructs. Scale construction techniques in research methodology help in social science studies.

Key PointsSome of the important approaches, along with the corresponding scales to measure attitude are as follows:

List I List II
Arbitrary approach
  • It's an approach to seeking answers to questions consisting of imagination, opinion, blind belief, or impression.
  • From an arbitrary approach, arbitrary scales are developed on an ad hoc basis and are designed largely through the researcher’s own subjective selection of items. 
  • The chief merit of such scales is that they can be developed very easily, quickly, and with relatively low expense.
Consensus approach
  • Consensus is a function of shared team feelings towards an issue.
  • The aim of the consensus approach is to determine the extent to which experts or laymen agree about a given issue.
  • In this approach, a panel of Judges evaluates the items chosen for inclusion in the instrument.
 
Item Analysis approach
  • Item analysis is the set of qualitative and quantitative techniques and procedures used to evaluate the characteristics of items of the test before and after the test development and construction.
  • A number of individual items are developed into a test which is given to a group of respondents.
Cumulative scales
  • The Cumulative scale measures how much of a positive or negative attitude a person has towards a particular topic.
  • Chosen on the basis of their conforming to some ranking of items with ascending and descending discriminating power

So, the correct arrangement is (A) ‐ (II), (B) ‐ (IV), (C) ‐ (I), (D) ‐ (III)
