Likert-Type Items

Likert-type items are survey questions that ask people to express how much they agree or disagree with a statement, usually on a scale such as 1 to 5 or 1 to 7. For example, a statement like "I feel confident in my abilities" might have options from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree." These items help measure attitudes, opinions, or feelings in a structured way, making it easier to analyze and compare responses across individuals or groups. They are commonly used in research to gauge the intensity of people's perceptions or beliefs.
