Explain reverse-scored items in terms of the Cat Person Scale described in the text
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Reverse-scored items are items scored in the opposite direction from the responses. The Cat Person Scale mentioned in the text had questions that were easy to score—high numbers mean you like cats. Some questions, though, are asked in the opposite manner and high numbers would then mean you are not a cat person. The scores for those questions need to be reversed.
