It aims to improve the significance and accuracy of ordinal scales, transforming them into interval scales. To reach this objective, the presented scales combine quantitative and qualitative perspectives, joining the ease of the Likert scale and the Thurstone's procedure. In this research, a sample of subjects was asked to indicate the numerical value of adverbs, in reference to a numerical scale. The results were subjected to… Show more

“…Their attitudes were very open and everyone always accepted to analyse and discuss any solution, even if it was divergent from his own. Negative Impact of the described behaviors on the use of information The used scale, expressed in quantity adverbs may be an example of the fruitful synergy between qualitative and quantitative methods: it is a mix of a qualitative expression (adverb), used currently to evaluate objects and situations, and a quantitative measure (numerical interval scale), based on the numerical value attributed to the adverbs and adverbial expressions, in studies carried out since 2003 (Parreira & Lorga da Silva, 2016).…”
