Thurstone scale
|
The Thurstone scale was the first formal technique for measuring an attitude. It was developed by L. L. Thurstone in 1928, as a means of measuring attitudes towards religion. It is made up of statements about a particular issue, and each statement has a numerical value indicating how favorable or unfavorable it is judged to be. People check each of the statements to which they agree, and a mean score is computed, indicating their attitude.
