| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST DKR0xFOw. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The similarity in meaning assigned to response choice labels from the SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36) was evaluated across countries. Convenience samples of judges (range, 10 to 117 ; median=48) from 13 countries rated translations of response choice labels, using a variation of the Thurstone method of equal appearing intervals. Judges marked a point On a 10-cm line representing the magnitude of a response choice label (e.g., "good" relative to the anchors of "poor and" excellent "). Ratings were evaluated to determine the ordinal consistency of response choice labels within a response scale ; the degree to which differences between adjacent response choice labels were equal interval ; and the amount of variance due to response choice label, country, judge, and interaction between response choice label and country. Results confirmed the hypothesized ordering of response choice labels ; the percentage of ordinal pairs ranged from 88.7% to 100% (median=98.2%) across countries and response scales. Examination of the average magnitudes of response choice labels supported the" quasi-interval'nature of the scales. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results supported the gencralizability of response choice magnitudes across countries ; labels explained 64% to 77% of the variance in ratings, and country explained 1% to 3%. These results support the equivalence of SF-36 response choice labels across countries. (...) |
