Semantic Differential and its Risks in the Measurement of Students' Attitudes
Original language description
The paper describes possible risks and limitations that need to be considered in performing research of intercultural differences in the attitudes of students. This comparative research study of students' attitudes was performed at Palacký University in Olomouc (Czech Republic), University of Rzeszow (Poland) and Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (Slovakia), and concerned selected concepts of educational and social reality and lifestyle. The results pointed to a necessity to verify the validity and reliability of the measuring instrument - the ATER two-factor semantic differential. It appears that mere use of linguistically equivalent adjectives in various scales of the semantic differential might not always meet the required factor structure. Research emphasises a requirement to review the structure of the scales using a factor analysis. The results of the comparative research further indicate that various concepts were perceived differently by Czech Polish and Slovak university students.
