Dear Readers,
Currently, I am conducting a study to investigate the need for assistance with a certain process. I used a survey including Likert-items for my study. In this way, I want to be able to rank the aspects of the process from 'most assistance needed' to 'least assistance needed'.
For example (simplified):
Question 1: I want assistance with writing
Question 2: I want assistance with speaking
Question 3: I want assistance with hearing
All these questions use a Likert-scale (1 being strongly disagree to 7 being strongly agree). I want to use a statistical method to rank these several aspects (writing, speaking, hearing). Thus, I want to be able to state that 'the need for assistance for writing was the highest, followed by hearing and speaking required the least assistance'.
Although I think the means would give a valuable overview, I believe that this is not the best way to rank these aspects.
So does anyone have an idea which statistical method I can use best to be able to rank Likert-items (preferably with references)?
Thank you in advance!
