57 Ss scaled 20 statements which expressed attitudes toward labor unions. The scaling task required S to first judge to which half of a continuum, ranging from favorable to unfavorable, the statement belonged. By regulating rate of tapping a telegraph key which referred to the chosen segment of the scale, S indicated the distance between the statement and the neutral origin of the scale. The statements were also scaled by 53 Ss who followed a conventional successive-intervals procedure. An r of .94 was reported between scale values obtained from the two scaling procedures. Evidence concerning equal-interval properties and inter-rater agreement for the continuous response scale is presented.
