The nine items on the survey are displayed in Table 1. Responses were rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The psychometric properties of this instrument are unknown.

A Likert-type scale.5 Subjects are asked to express their level of agreement or disagreement with a five-point scale. Each level of agreement is given a numerical value from 1 to 5. A statement is made and the subject is asked to mark whether they strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree or strongly disagree with that statement. The Likert scale has been shown to have a high degree of reliability and validity, and has been demonstrated to be effective for measuring change over a period of time.
RAG – the resilience assessment grid
Published in Erik Hollnagel, Safety-II in Practice, 2017
A distinct advantage of using a Likert-type scale is that the results can be shown directly in a table or in a variety of graphical renderings, such as bar charts, diverging stacked bar charts, multiple pie charts, square pie charts, etc. The choice of an effective way to show the results should keep in mind that the assessments are not one-off measurements but repeated measurements that are intended to support managing a process or a development. It is therefore useful if the results from one assessment can be easily compared with the results from another. Such a comparison can show the magnitude and direction of any changes that may have occurred.

The CTQ11 is a reliable47 and valid48 28-item retrospective self-report of five forms of childhood and adolescent abuse and neglect. Response options range on a Likert-type scale from 1 (Never true) to 5 (Very often true). A total CTQ score was used as an overall child maltreatment score while the summed scores from each of the five subscales (physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse) were used to indicate the severity of maltreatment. Participants who endorsed at least moderate scores for one or more subscales of maltreatment were assigned to the CM group. The following are cutoff score guidelines from the CTQ manual:49 Emotional Abuse: 13+; Physical Abuse: 10+; Sexual Abuse: 8+, Emotional Neglect: 15+, Physical Neglect: 10+. The CTQ includes three validity check questions to identify participants who under-report negative family. A score of 3 to 4 across any of these three items eliminated 15 participants from the final sample.

Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS).36 The DTS is a 15-item self-report measure of the following domains: (1) perceived ability to tolerate emotional distress (Tolerance); (2) attention being absorbed by negative emotions (Absorption); (3) subjective appraisal of distress (Appraisal); and (4) regulation efforts to alleviate distress (Regulation). Respondents are asked to indicate on a 5-point Likert-type scale the extent to which they agree or disagree with items. A DTS total score is created by taking the mean of the four domains with lower scores indicative of lower tolerance for distress. The DTS has demonstrated good psychometric properties in previous work.36 In the current study the DTS total score demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .94).
Explaining Physical Bullying in Chinese Middle Schools
Published in Journal of School Violence, 2022
For the subcultural perspective, violent subcultural value index consists of six items: “I gain respect with my fists”; “if anyone provokes me, I will fight back instantly”; “without violence, life is boring”; “it is normal for boys to engage fights to prove himself”; “up until now, my experiences have told me that fists are effective”; and “violence is important for me to gain social respect.” These items assess respondents’ tendency of endorsing or using physical force. Similar items were used in probing the subculture of violence and the code of the street (Cao et al., 1997; Stewart & Simons, 2010; Wolfgang & Ferracuti, 1967). Respondents were asked to register their answers on a Likert-type scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). The resulting addictive index has an internal consistency reliability of .854.
