Abstract

Functional measurement is a method to establish the quality of measurement (rating) scales which is based on Information Integration Theory (Anderson, 1981). Information Integration Theory considers how complex information about multiple stimuli is integrated into a single impression, which people use when forming an overall appraisal. It is generally found that the integration process can well be modeled with simple arithmetic such as adding, averaging, and multiplying. Linearity of rating scales is derived from this result.
