Effects of unbalanced response scales on judgments of social stimuli

TL;DR: For example, this article found that a 3-category balanced scale induced a shift in the prestige value of the 'average' category in the direction of a single, non-discriminating category.

Influence of the Response Scale on Like-Dislike Judgments

Effect of Response System on Development of Standards for End Categories

TL;DR: One third used an open-ended scale comprising a designated "average" category and as many above or below average categories as they desired; the remaining two-thirds employed fixed 7-category scales whose intervals ranged from +3 to −3 or from 1 to 7 as mentioned in this paper.

Effects of Response Scales on the Expected Distribution of Judgments of Social Stimuli

TL;DR: In this paper, a 4 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted in which 60 Ss perused briefly a list of occupations, holding in mind one of four types of scales, and then estimated the total number that would fall into each category of one of three different scales.

Influence on judgment of increasing asymmetry of stimulus series.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the stimulus value of the “average” category of judgment was significantly higher when all 11 squares were judged than when any degree of asymmetry was introduced into the series.
