Comparisons on Reliability of Likert Scale between Crisp and Fuzzy Data

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to compare the reliability of Likert scale between crisp and fuzzy data. The survey data is simulated based on two kinds of questionnaire data. They are questionnaire of crisp data and fuzzy data respectively. According to the viewpoints of fuzzy logic, human thinking is multi-value and fuzzy data will be more appropriate for survey. Therefore, it is proposed that the reliability from fuzzy data will be higher. Results of the simulation show that reliability of fuzzy data performs better than crisp data. Based on the findings of this study, some suggestions and recommendations are discussed for future research.
