“…Basically, the number of response categories will affect the psychological distance between categories, especially the most striking on the 7-point response scale. On a response scale of 7, it can be seen that when the number of categories is increased, the end point tends to approach the midpoint of the scale (Sirganci & Uyumaz, 2021).…”

“…But in general (90%) of research uses a measurement instrument that involves a Likert scale with odd response choices. Apparently, the Likert scale with a response choice of 5 (five) (e.g.,Alrajeh & Shindel, 2020;Dilekli & Tezci, 2019;Hartley, 2013;Martín et al, 2018;Taherdoost, 2019;Ulia & Kusmaryono, 2021; is still the most popular than the other odd (7, 9, or 11) response choices(James, 2019;Lewis & Erdinç, 2017;Martín et al, 2018;Sirganci & Uyumaz, 2021).This literature review research is focused on the variables (a) the number of response points on the Likert item (Likert scale), (b) reliability and validity of the survey instrument with a Likert scale, and (c) the potential for bias in survey research. The results of investigations on research variables from journal articles that are included in the literature review research category are presented in Table4 (Acosta et al, 2020) (Kreitchmann et al, 2019…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">This study reviews 60 papers using a Likert scale and published between 2012 – 2021. Screening for literature review uses the PRISMA method. The data analysis technique was carried out through data extraction, then synthesized in a structured manner using the narrative method. To achieve credible research results at the stage of the data collection and data analysis process, a group discussion forum (FGD) was conducted. The findings show that only 10% of studies use a measurement scale with an even answer choice category (4, 6, 8, or 10 choices). In general, (90%) of research uses a measurement instrument that involves a Likert scale with odd response choices (5, 7, 9, or 11) and the most popular researchers use a Likert scale with a total response of 5 points. The use of a rating scale with an odd number of responses of more than five points (especially on a seven-point scale) is the most effective in terms of reliability and validity coefficients, but if the researcher wants to direct respondents to one side, then a scale with an even number of responses (six points) is possible. more suitable. The presence of response bias and central tendency bias can affect the validity and reliability of the use of the Likert scale instrument.</p>

“…The data analysis technique will involve Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the Generalized Partial Credit Model (GPCM). The Generalized Partial Credit Model is a measurement model used in psychological research that employs large-scale assessments [18]. GPCM used for parameter estimation that reflect real life condition that were chosen in the items.…”

Happiness is an essential aspect of psychological well-being, and measuring it accurately is crucial for policymakers and researchers. The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) is a widely used tool to assess happiness, but its validity and reliability in different cultural contexts, such as Indonesia, are yet to be determined. This research aimed to analyze the item responses of the Indonesian version of the OHQ using the Generalized Partial Credit Model (GPCM). Participants were Indonesian citizens aged between 18-40 years old, and the data were collected through an online survey. The GPCM analysis revealed that three items in the Indonesian version of the OHQ have low discriminant value. This may be due to unclear statements or insufficient information to accurately measure happiness. Despite this, the overall conclusion is that the Indonesian version of the OHQ is suitable for use as a test tool to measure overall happiness perceived by people in Indonesia. This information can be valuable for policymakers and researchers to better understand happiness levels in the country and develop strategies to improve overall well-being. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the OHQ, contributing to ongoing efforts to measure happiness in diverse cultural contexts. The findings can be used to inform future research and policy decisions aimed at promoting happiness and psychological well-being in Indonesian.
