- Title
An Updated Paradigm for Developing Better Measures: A Review of Scale Development Practices.
- Authors

- Abstract
Questionnaires are the widely used methods for data collection in social sciences. Issues with the reliability and validity of constructs may lead to the biased results. The present stud suggested an improved measure for developing the scale which has dimensionality and validity. The studies were explored from selected databases viz. Emerald, ProQuest, Ebscohost, and Google scholar using the key word search, "Scale development", "Scale validation", and "Construct measurement" to reduce the interpretation bias. The study found that the issues such as uni-dimensionality, multidimensionality and content validity are often overlooked due to lack of standard procedures. The stud has many implications for researchers and academicians for developing and validating the scale using the suggested procedure. The study provides the recommendations for improving the scale development process.
