Guttman Scaling

This article presents a discussion and illustration of Mokken scale analysis (MSA), a nonparametric form of item response theory (IRT), in relation to common IRT models such as Rasch and Guttman scaling. The procedure can be used for dichotomous and ordinal polytomous data commonly used with questionnaires. The assumptions of MSA are discussed as well as characteristics that differentiate a Mokken scale from a Guttman scale. MSA is illustrated using the mokken package with R Studio and a data set that included over 3,340 responses to a modified version of the Statistical Anxiety Rating Scale. Issues addressed in the illustration include monotonicity, scalability, and invariant ordering. The R script for the illustration is included.

Universal Pattern

Guttman scale analysis is a very useful tool to understand the evolution of societies. It shows the accumulation of cultural traits throughout history in various societies and that those cultural traits were usually accumulated in the same order. The results of studies, by Robert Carneiro and others, shows the accumulation of cultural traits is not random and indicates a universal pattern in cultural evolution. The universal pattern is caused by increasing human knowledge of the environment we live in. Human societies usually acquire this knowledge in the same order, with easier discoveries concerning the natural world being made earlier than more complex discoveries. This means human social and cultural history, usually follows a particular course, a course that is determined by the structure of the human environment.

Kutai Kartanegara Regency has 7 subdistricts which are included in the Minapolitan area, including Marang Kayu, Muara Badak, Loa Kulu, Loa Janan, Samboja, Muara Jawa and Anggana. In developing the Minapolitan Straegis Region, it can increase fish farming income so as to produce equality in each region with better quality of life and welfare. In carrying out the development, it is necessary to have a region or sub-district which is the center of Minsan Metropolitan services, in determining the Minapolitan Region Service Center in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, a scalogram analysis (Guttman Scale) is performed to determine the areas that have complete facilities related to Minapolitan and Marshall Central Index Index analysis ( ISM) to determine the service center of the Kutai Kartanegara District Minapolitan Area. Based on the two analyzes, a service center in the Kutai Kartanegara District was obtained, namely Anggana District with the type and number of complete facilities related to the Minapolitan Area. Based on these results it is possible to develop the area in Anggana Subdistrict which is the Minapolitan Area Service Center of Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Keywords: Marshall Central Index Index (ISM), Minapolitan Area Service Center ,Scalogram Analysis (Guttman Scale).
