Abstract | The goal of this study is to investigate how features of a rating scale developed for English-speaking populations interact with Spanish-speaking respondents' response styles and functional categories of judgment. A sample of 400 Spanish-speaking students took a translated scale and a scaling task developed to measure response sets and functional categories of judgment, respectively. Three response set models--extreme response, central tendency, and acquiescence--under two conditions--base and revised with respondents' functional categories--were studied with item response theory and multidimensional scaling methods. Revising the number of scale categories with the number of salient functional categories statistically improved fit of the base models. Multidimensional scaling results showed scale content features interacting with response styles and functional categories. Translation of rating scales requires adapting scale features to characteristics of target languages, such as salient response styles and respondents' functional categories of judgment. (Author). |
