ÖLÇEK ORTA NOKTASI BİTARAF CEVAPLAR İÇİN Mİ YOKSA BİHABER CEVAPLAR İÇİN Mİ KULLANILMAKTADIR?

Year 2015, Volume: 8 Issue: 16, 87 - 98, 01.12.2015

Abstract

Pazarlama araştırmaları literatürü 1940’lı yıllardan bu yana ölçek orta noktalarının bitaraf cevaplayıcılar kadar bihaber cevaplayıcılar tarafından da kullanıldığını tartışmaktadır. Bu konudaki ampirik araştırmaların çoğunda, orta noktanın hem bitaraf hem de bihaber cevapları kapsadığına dikkat çekilmektedir. Bu çalışma, ülkemizde bu konuyla ilgili bir çalışma bulunmaması nedeniyle farkındalık oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç için Pamukkale Üniversitesi öğrencilerinden oluşan örnekleme, bir havayolu şirketinin sunduğu hizmetler ile ilgili bir anket uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, zorlanmış ölçeklerde orta noktanın yanlış anlaşılabildiğini göstermekte ve araştırmacıların geçerli gerekçeleri olmadığında, zorlanmamış ölçekler kullanmasını önermektedir

IS SCALE MIDPOINT USED FOR INDIFFERENT RESPONSES OR UNINFORMED RESPONSES?

Year 2015, Volume: 8 Issue: 16, 87 - 98, 01.12.2015

Abstract

Marketing research literature has discussed the issue that scale midpoint may be used as indifferent responses as well as uninformed responses since 1940s. Most of the studies show that the midpoint may cover both indifferent and uninformed responses. Our study aims to build awareness of uninformed and indifferent responses. For this purpose a survey was conducted to a sample of 78 students at Pamukkale University. Findings show that midpoint of forced scales may not be so explicit for respondents and suggest that unless researchers do have solid reasons, non-forced scales should be preferred
