Abstract
The decision about whether to label all response scale points or just the end points for attitudinal questions can be an important and vexing decision for question designers. This short article will first discuss theoretical and practical considerations that should help guide the decision about how to label response scale points. Next, I will discuss some of the important empirical findings on this question from the literature. I will also provide some advice about how to evaluate verbal labels.
