Mokken scale

The Mokken scale is a psychometric method of data reduction. A Mokken scale is a unidimensional scale that consists of hierarchically-ordered items that measure the same underlying, latent concept. This method is named after the political scientist Rob Mokken who suggested it in 1971.

Mokken Scales have been used in psychology, education, political science, public opinion, medicine and nursing.
