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).

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In the 20s the USA was considered isolationist, America for the Americans so when a influx of immigrants came in they faced harsh feelings from the born and bred Americans.

This can be confused with racism, if what happened in the 20s happened now it would be but there is a difference between not wanting someone in your country based on race and not wanting someone in your country based on the times ideals. We need to stop judging people from over a century ago like we would today, it was a different time, different ideals and different motives. I am not discounting the presents of racism obviously but pointing out the cultural influences at the time.

that was for free lol
