SWOT analysis applications: An integrative literature review (2021, methodology): “Survey questionnaires are also widely used in SWOT studies (Dawes, 2002; Herdman et al., 2011; Hjermstad et al., 2011; Preston & Colman, 2000).”
In Search of the Optimal Number of Response Categories in a Rating Scale (2014, methodology): “No difference was found in the factor-analytic data configuration in scales of 2 to 7 response points (Schutz & Rucker, 1975), nor were in skewness and kurtosis by using either 5 or 11 response categories (Dawes, 2002).”
Do Data Characteristics Change According to the Number of Scale Points Used? An Experiment Using 5-Point, 7-Point and 10-Point Scales (2008, unknown): “These data characteristics were taken from the results of a previous study (Dawes 2002a).”
Board Diversity and Corporate Social Disclosure: Evidence from Vietnam (2016, background): “A wide-scale increases the variance of responses obtained and makes the results more reliable (Dawes 2002; Hartley and Betts 2010).”
Rethinking Internal Consistency in Cronbach's Alpha (2017, background): “The optimal number of response categories (Dawes, 2002) andwhether or not to include a neutral category (Nowlis et al., 2002) are complex issues that can vary by salience of topic to respondents and surveymethodology (e.g., mail vs. phone survey).”
Factors Influencing University Students’ Behavioral Intention to Use Generative Artificial Intelligence: Integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior and AI Literacy (2024, unknown): “…in the SEM field have empirically demonstrated that larger-scale measurement instruments, such as a seven-point Likert scale, outperform smaller-scale instruments (e.g., four-and five-point Likert scales) in terms of enhancing reliability and validity (Brown, 2011; Dawes, 2002; Wang et al., 2023).”
Do data characteristics change according to the number of scale points used (2007, methodology): “These data characteristics were taken from the results of a previous study (Dawes 2002a).”
