| Abstract | Scale construction is a common technique in the behavioral and social sciences. There are various techniques researchers use to construct a scale such as the use of focus groups or modifying existing scales. These techniques are not without their challenges. One technique that is not as well discussed in the social science literature is the use of the literature to construct a scale. Using the literature to create a scale has fewer challenges than alternative techniques. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how existing literature can be used to construct a scale. Included is a specific example of how the literature was utilized to create a scale measuring students' perceptions of the value of a methodology. The results conclude with six specific steps to develop a scale from existing literature. The paper also includes considerations and limitations for those who may consider using existing literature to construct a scale. (As Provided). |
