Explanation / Answer

Theory

Designing question stem

Rating scale questions are used in Satisfaction Surveys of all types such as: Customer Satisfaction Surveys, Employee Satisfaction Surveys, Healthcare or Patient Satisfaction Surveys, and Educational Surveys such as Student Evaluations and Course Evaluations.

Designing Scale

When designing your survey, levels of satisfaction may vary from “Not at all satisfied” to “Very Satisfied” or “Extremely Satisfied,” but the scale is not balanced in the same way as Performance or Expectation.

In satisfaction questions, there is a scale of satisfaction but not an equivalent scale of dissatisfaction.

For example:  “Very Dissatisfied” to “Very Satisfied” does not seem to fit as well as “Not at all Satisfied” to “Very Satisfied.”

A possible scale is then: “Not at all Satisfied,” “Partly Satisfied,” “Satisfied,” “More than Satisfied,” “Very Satisfied,” numbering 1 to 5 as an interval scale.

Now, on the basis of above theory we can now conclude that

Stem Q1 has no problem

Scale for Q1 has problems it is not satisfying aforementioned explanation. Idea scale should be Not at all Satisfied,” “Partly Satisfied,” “Satisfied,” “More than Satisfied,” “Very Satisfied,”

Stem Q2 has no problem

Scale for Q2 has problems it is not satisfying aforementioned explanation. Idea scale should be Not at all Satisfied,” “Partly Satisfied,” “Satisfied,” “More than Satisfied,” “Very Satisfied,”

Stem Q3 has no problem

Scale for Q3 has problems it is not satisfying aforementioned explanation. Idea scale should be Not at all Satisfied,” “Partly Satisfied,” “Satisfied,” “More than Satisfied,” “Very Satisfied,”
