Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assigning the average score value is the best choice because it takes into account the responses from the other items and provides a more accurate representation of the participant's overall response. Assigning the highest or lowest score value can skew the data, and discarding any with missing items can decrease sample size and potentially introduce bias.
