1. What is self-report? What should such a self-report essentially contain? How should a
teacher instruct the students in writing self-reports?
- Self-report is arguably the most popular assessment method. The most used assessment
instrument, the clinical interview, employs self-report. It is also the method used for the
multitude of questionnaires and inventories designed to examine various forms of
psychopathology and cognitive functioning. Clinicians should be sensitive to the specific
wording of the questions, question format, and question context, as these can influence
self-reports of older adults (Schwarz, 1999; 2003).

2. What is the difference between a Thurstone scale and a Likert scale? In what way does
Guttman scaling improve on both types of scale?
- Thurstone scale has a number of “agree” or “disagree” statements. It is a unidimensional
scale to measure attitudes towards people. Developing the scale is time consuming and
relatively complex compared to other scales.
- A Likert scale is a rating scale, often found on survey forms, that measures how people feel
about something. An effective Likert scale include a series of questions that you ask people
to answer, and ideally 5-7 balanced responses people can choose form. It often comes with
a neutral midpoint.

3. What is a semantic differential scale? Illustrate the use of semantic differential scale in the
measurement of attitude.
- Semantic Differential (SD) is a type of a rating scale designed to measure the connotative
meaning of objects, events, and concepts. The connotative are used to desire the attitude
towards the given object, event, or concept.
