Steps of q classification q classification

1. Draw up 50 to 100 sentences of valuable judgment, ranking from favorable attitude to unfavorable attitude.

2. Make an odd-numbered agreement scale, which can be a 5-component scale or a 7-component scale.

3. The distribution of the number of statements in each digit should be normal distribution (refer to the normal distribution table).

Introduction:

Q classification is a research method used to study the relationship between individuals. Put forward by Stephenson, it is a complex scoring scale. In the process of market research, people classify a group of objects-oral statement, statement, product characteristics, potential customer service, etc. According to the specific evaluation categories specified in advance.

Q classification, or Q sorting, is essentially to classify different sentence cards according to the requirements of symmetric distribution (such as normal distribution), and then make statistical analysis of the results of the two classifications.

For example, in order to study the harmony of teacher-student relationship, a student can be asked to classify a group of statement cards (usually 60- 150) marked with various teacher-student relationships, which are divided into two themes: "My opinion of teachers" and "Teachers' opinion of me" (the number of cards divided in each category is symmetrically arranged in advance). After the classification is completed, all kinds of cards are given certain values (evaluation values), and then the correlation coefficients of these two groups of evaluation values are obtained, which is a quantitative description of the harmonious relationship between teachers and students.
