Answer:

They are written in this manner in order to to reduce the influence of acquiescent bias (responding).

Explanation:

Acquiescence bias (responding) is a category of response bias in which respondents to a survey have a tendency to agree with all the questions or to indicate a positive connotation. Acquiescence is sometimes referred to as "yea-saying" and is the tendency of a respondent to agree with a statement when in doubt.

By formating the Likert scale so that in one half agreeing with means that the person has the variables measured and the other half means that the variable is not measured avoides acquiescent bias (responding).

When do you feel you are more likely to make decisions rationally instead of emotionally?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: When the mind is unbiased

Explanation: Making rational decisions requires one to be unbiased either as a result of religious, racial or gender influence. It also requires one to be in the right frame of mind at the time of making the decision. Emotional decisions could occur if one's judgment is influenced by religious, cultural or social inclination or sympathy towards a particular group. It could also stem from one's present state of mind at the time the judgment is passed, hence making one's judgment more of emotional than rational.

In other to make rational decisions one should be in the right frame of mind, free from external influences which could induce bias into one's decision.
