Ratio-Level Multidimensional Scaling: a Method for Measuring Juvenile Offenders' World Views

State University College at Buffalo, New York

Ratio-level multidimensional scaling (RMDS) is intended for precise measurement of the change-or, at least, differences-in the concepts constituting aggregates' world views. Such measurement consists of three consecutive phases: selecting key concepts in these world views, devising and administering the questionnaire, and reducing and analyzing the data. This paper illustrates the use of RMDS for comparing world views, as well as for planning and evaluating treatments.
