Likert scale questions are single-choice, closed-ended questions and the primary benefit of using a Likert scale is that it provides more granular information on people’s attitudes towards a subject than a simple yes/no question type. By using a Likert scale, researchers can assess varying levels of agreement, importance, quality, and other factors.
In this GeoPoll Talks episode, Roxana Elliott discusses Likert Scale questions, with real-life examples of how they are formatted and used.2021-03-1208 minGeoPoll TalksGeoPoll’s 2020 Year End Report: Ongoing Impact Of COVID-19 In 6 African CountriesIn November 2020 GeoPoll conducted a study in Côte D’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, and South Africa to gauge how lives have changed in 2020, people’s views on the future, and their willingness to take a vaccine.
