초록

리커트형 데이터가 순서척도임에도 불구하고 많은 연구자들이 구간척도로 간주하여 모수 방법을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 리커트형 데이터를 어떻게 분석하는 것이 적절한지 모의 실험을 통하여 알아본다. 다양한 분포를 갖는 5점 리커트형 표본을 추출하여 위치를 비교하고, 순서척도의 경우 위치비교 보다 응답분포를 살펴보는 것이 더 타당하므로 응답분포 검정을 실시한다. 위치를 비교하는 방법으로는 구간척도로 생각하고 분석하는 모수 방법인 t-검정과 순서척도로 생각하는 비모수 방법인 만- 휘트니검정 (M-W검정)을 적용하고, 응답분포를 검정하기 위해서는 카이제곱 검정과 콜모고로프 - 스미르노프검정 (K-S검정)을 실시한다. 네 가지 방법의 효율성을 비교하기 위하여 제 1종 오류 (Type I error)의 비율과 검정력 (power)을 구한다.

Even though Likert type data is ordinal scale, many researchers who regard Likert type data as interval scale adapt as parametric methods. In this research, simulations have been used to find out a proper analysis of Likert type data. The locations and response distributions of five point Likert type data samples having diverse distribution have been evaluated. In estimating samples' locations, we considered parametric method and non-parametric method, which are t-test and Mann-Whitney test respectively. In addition, to test response distribution, we employed Chi-squared test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. In this study, we assessed the performance of the four aforementioned methods by comparing Type I error ratio and statistical power.
