Can you do regression with Likert scale data?

I think you can use Likert scale data in multiple regression analysis.. Dear Gobinda: Yes, you can, but only the individual’s total score since it can be treated as an interval scale.

What type of regression is used for Likert scale?

Regression techniques include; Ordered logistic regression or; • Multinomial logistic regression. Alternatively collapse the levels of the Dependent variable into two levels and run binary logistic regression.

Is Likert scale a dependent variable?

It depends. If the various Likert questions are going to be added up and used as one dependent variable, then ordinary least squares regression is probably fine. If each one is going to be a dependent variable by itself then I would start with ordinal logistic regression.

Can Likert scales be used in quantitative research?

Yes.It is used for quantitative variables. A Likert item is simply a statement that the respondent is asked to evaluate by giving it a quantitative value on any kind of subjective or objective dimension.

How do I report Likert scale results?

The traditional way to report on a Likert scale is to sum the values of each selected option and create a score for each respondent. This score is then used to represent a specific trait — satisfied or dissatisfied, for example — particularly when used for sociological or psychological research.

Are Likert scales ordinal?

Individual Likert-type questions are generally considered ordinal data, because the items have clear rank order, but don’t have an even distribution. Overall Likert scale scores are sometimes treated as interval data.

How do you rank Likert scale data?

To determine the minimum and the maximum length of the 5-point Likert type scale, the range is calculated by (5 − 1 = 4) then divided by five as it is the greatest value of the scale (4 ÷ 5 = 0.80). Afterwards, number one which is the least value in the scale was added in order to identify the maximum of this cell.
