Abstract:

This paper addresses the problems associated with using rating scale techniques in cross-cultural research. The objective of the study was to assess which of four types of rating scale (verbal, numerical, visual and graphic line) was the most appropriate to use among English, Afrikaans, Coloured, Indian, Xhosa, Northern Sotho and Zulu respondents.
