Abstract: | From a set of 40 statements for which Thurstone Scale values had previously been determined, a set of 9 statements were presented in paired-comparison form (36 pairs) to 370 psychology students. "… using the method of paired comparisons in conjunction with a set of opinion statements with known scale values… has promise for the construction of attitude scales with a relatively high degree of reproducibility and satisfactory reliability."
