Task B: Explain how you would pilot and improve the initial item pool for your attitude scale.
Task C: Explain how you would test your finished attitude scale for reliability and validity.Task D:Let’s presume that you have produced a scale that is reliable and valid, and therefore able to be used for a piece of research.
