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).

If you toast a piece of bread then spread butter onto the warm piece of toast, what would be the physical change occurring? What
mr_godi [17]

Answer: I gotchu.

The physical change occuring would be the butter melting, because the butter is still butter, but it changed from a solid to a liquid. This is not the chemical change, because you can put melted butter in the fridge and it would be solid again. The chemical change that is occuring would be toasting the bread. This is because when you toast bread, you can't untoast it. It changed, the chemical status of the bread is now toast if that makes sense. The key thing to remember here is that a physical change can be undone whereas a chemical change cannot.
