Abstract
Although behaviorally anchored rating scales
(BARS) have both intuitive and empirical appeal,
they have not always yielded superior results in
contrast with graphic rating scales. The present
study examined the issue of how behavioral descriptions
are anchored. Subjects scaled anchors describing
teaching performance in a college classroom
using either a graphic rating procedure or a pair-comparison
procedure. The two different methods
resulted in scale anchors with different properties,
particularly with respect to item dispersions. It was
proposed that the choice of an anchoring procedure
depends on the nature of the actual rating process.
