Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constant sum scaling involves allocating a fixed total number of units across different stimulus objects based on their perceived magnitude. This method does not have an absolute zero (A), meaning that the scale does not start at a point where there is a complete absence of the attribute being measured. Constant sum scaling allows for fine discrimination among stimulus objects without requiring much time (B), but respondents may allocate more or fewer units than those specified (C). Therefore, both statement B and C are correct.
