Cette méthode repose sur l'idée que les items n'ont pas tous la même importance dans la définition d'une attitude; elle se donne donc pour objet d'ordonner les items eux-mêmes comme étant révélateurs d'une attitude bipolaire, l'un des pôles par la note 7,9 on 11 (suivant la finesse de l'échelle). 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20de%20L%2EL%2E%20Thurstone

La méthode de Thurstone est parfois appelée «méthode des juges» en raison de l'appel à un jury d'experts, ou encore «échelle à intervalles apparemment égaux» en raison du fait qu'elle s'efforce d'être une échelle métrique fondée sur une régularité présumée des gradations (à l'image des échelles de température). 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20de%20L%2EL%2E%20Thurstone

Generally, CCA deductions begin when an asset is acquired, with half the normal write-off allowed in the year of acquisition. Assets are pooled in a class and taxpayers are allowed to claim up to the maximum CCA specified by the tax rules. Most CCA rates are established on a declining balance basis, which means that the allowed percentage write-off for each class of property is calculated for any year by reference to the remaining unclaimed balance in the class at the end of that year. 1, record 2, English, - declining%20balance

En général, les déductions pour amortissement commencent lorsqu'un bien est acquis, la moitié de la déduction normale étant permise l'année de l'acquisition. Les biens sont regroupés dans une catégorie, et les contribuables peuvent demander la DPA maximale prescrite par les règles fiscales. La plupart des taux de DPA s'appliquent à la valeur résiduelle, ce qui signifie que le pourcentage de déduction permis pour chaque catégorie de biens est calculé pour une année par rapport au solde non amorti de la catégorie à la fin de l'année. 1, record 2, French, - valeur%20r%C3%A9siduelle
