You can readily convert data from a 5-point scale to a 10-point equivalent. The process is basically to anchor the end points of the scale you want to convert to the 10-point. So 1 stays as 1, 5 becomes 10. The points in between are converted like this: 2 becomes 3.25; 3 becomes 5.5; 4 becomes 7.75. Note that this assumes the data are "equal interval" (e.g. the distance between 1 and 2 is the same as between 2 and 3 on the scale). Many researchers are leery of this assumption but the leading texts on marketing research assume equal interval data for Likert-based data. A recent study in the International Journal of Market Research reported on an experiment where three groups of respondents gave answers on either a 5-point, 7-point or 10-point scale. After this re-scaling procedure, the three scales gave almost identical results. The study reference is: Dawes, John "Do Data Characteristics Change according to the Number of Scale Points Used ? An experiment using 5-point, 7-point and 10-point scales". International Journal of Market Research, Vol 50, 1, 2008.

How do you convert a 5 point likert scale to 4 point likert?
See the related link for more information. The Likert scale with 5 points typically has a middle neutral (neither agree or disagree) choice. In the 4-point scale, the neutral choice is removed, so that person who is uncertain is forced to lean (even if slightly) one way or the other.
How do you convert 7 point likert scale into 5 point likert scale?
To convert a 7-point Likert scale to a 5-point scale, you can combine adjacent response options. For instance, you can merge the first two options of the 7-point scale into the lowest option of the 5-point scale, the middle option can remain the same, and the last two options of the 7-point scale can be combined into the highest option of the 5-point scale. This way, responses are grouped to fit the 5-point scale while maintaining the overall sentiment. It's important to ensure that the new scale preserves the original intent and variability of responses.

How do you convert a 10 point scale to a 5 point scale?
To convert a 10-point scale to a 5-point scale, you can simply divide the 10-point score by 2. For example, a score of 8 out of 10 would convert to a score of 4 out of 5. Alternatively, you can use a mapping system, where scores are grouped (e.g., 1-2 = 1, 3-4 = 2, 5-6 = 3, 7-8 = 4, 9-10 = 5). This ensures a clear and consistent conversion between the two scales.
What is the formula for converting from a 5 point Likert scale to a 6 point scale?
To convert a 5-point Likert scale to a 6-point scale, you can use a simple linear transformation. One common approach is to first map the 5-point scale (1 to 5) to a 6-point scale (1 to 6) by using the formula: ( \text{New Score} = \left(\frac{\text{Old Score} - 1}{4}\right) \times 5 + 1 ). This formula maintains the relative distances between the points while adjusting for the new scale. However, it’s essential to ensure that the context of the data supports this transformation for meaningful interpretation.

How do I make a likert scale questionnaire?
A Likert Scale Questionnaire is one where the subjects are asked to mark how much they agree with the point of view in the item. Rensis Likert devised it first. An item in a Likert Questionnaire could be "People who commit murder should be executed." The format for a five-point Likert scale could be: # Strongly disagree # Disagree # Neither agree nor disagree # Agree # Strongly Agree The results are either analyzed separately, or the whole scale may be totalled or summed. Because of this, Likert Scales are often called "Summative Scales".
How do you convert 854231 to scientific notation?
To convert 854231 to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of it. In this case, the decimal point would be moved 5 places to the left, resulting in 8.54231. Then, multiply this number by 10 raised to the power of 5: 8.54231 x 10^5.
As likert scale are ordinal data can I obtain mean and SD from them?
If you are considering a single ordinal variable, determining the mode or median would be meaningful, but the mean or SD would not. Many researchers do consider likert-scale data to possess only ordinal qualities. However, leading research studies, for example in the marketing area, obtain measures such as means and standard deviations from likert-scale data. Indeed leading textbooks also follow this approach. One concern has been that the 'distances' between points on a likert scale are not equal, for example the 'distance' or 'difference' between a strongly disagree and disagree is not the same as the difference between disagree and neutral. A recent study discusses these issues, as well as demonstrating that data obtained from 5-point, 7-point and 10-point likert scales are approximately comparable in terms of mean score (once re-scaled) and various measures of variation and data shape.
