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. If you are using the Likert-made variable as the dependent variable, you can use an ordered probit.

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.

Can a dependent variable be in a Likert scale?

Suppose your dependent variable (DV) is a Likert scale or something similar. That is, it’s some sort of rating, from 1 to 5 or 1 to 7 or some such. And suppose you want to regress that on several independent variables. A lot of people routinely use linear regression (often simply called regression).

What statistical analysis should I use for Likert scale data?

For ordinal data (individual Likert-scale questions), use non-parametric tests such as Spearman’s correlation or chi-square test for independence. For interval data (overall Likert scale scores), use parametric tests such as Pearson’s r correlation or t-tests.

How do you Analyse Likert scale results?

A Likert scale is composed of a series of four or more Likert-type items that represent similar questions combined into a single composite score/variable. Likert scale data can be analyzed as interval data, i.e. the mean is the best measure of central tendency. use means and standard deviations to describe the scale.

How do you Analyse Likert data?

Can regression analysis be used for ordinal data?

Ordinal logistic regression (often just called ‘ordinal regression’) is used to predict an ordinal dependent variable given one or more independent variables. As with other types of regression, ordinal regression can also use interactions between independent variables to predict the dependent variable.

How do you analyze a four point Likert scale?

Interpretation of a 4 Point Likert Scale

1. To interpret a 4 point scale, assign each response a point value, from 1 to 4, based on the number of responses.
2. Common values for the options start with “strongly disagree” at 1 point and “strongly agree” at 4.
