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
