Best–Worst Scaling in Agricultural Research: A Review of Methods and Applications

Journal of Sustainable Technology in Agriculture
Understanding stakeholder preferences is essential for designing effective agricultural policies, promoting technology adoption, and aligning market strategies with consumer demand. Best–Worst Scaling (BWS) is a robust stated preference method that captures preferences by choosing the most and least important attributes within a choice set. This review

Unfolding item response model using best-worst scaling

The Japanese journal of psychology, 2015
In attitude measurement and sensory tests, the unfolding model is typically used. In this model, response probability is formulated by the distance between the person and the stimulus. In this study, we proposed an unfolding item response model using best-worst scaling (BWU model), in which a person chooses the best and worst stimulus among repeatedly ...
