Rating Scales: Numeric Values May Change the Meaning of Scale Labels [PDF]
Three experiments indicate that the numeric values provided as part of a rating scale may influence respondents' interpretation of the endpoint labels. In experiment 1, a representative sample of German adults rated their success in life along an 11-point rating scale, with the endpoints labeled "not at all successful" and "extremely successful." When ...
