opportunities in many areas, including research. Visuals provide an opportunity to make questionnaires
and scales that are more engaging and in sync with the times. The challenge when adding visuals to
questions includes choosing the best type of visual and the possibility that the changes alter the questions.
Even those that are strictly visual can compromise the validity of questionnaires or scales. Visuals that
include pictorial descriptions with text have been shown to be helpful and to maintain validity among
those confronting communication disparities; although, studies have not specifically analized these issues
among educated younger generations. The objective of this study was to analize, among college students,
a pictorial and non–pictorial scale with the intent to compare psychometric properties and to study users’
preferences between the two scales. The two scale versions (pictorial vs. non pictorial) demonstrated
comparable test-retest reliability and internal consistency, and performed in theoretically predicted ways |
