Abstract

Questionnaire using Likert Scale (LS) style has been used in order to confirm the relevance of affectiveness, feelings or emotions of subjects and its results of psychological tests or biometric test. However case studies and research that conducted a questionnaire by using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) style instead of the LS has begun in recent years. There is no significant problem in many applications in the case of using LS, but it is believed that there may be distortion measurement results for some reason. There is a tendency that the subjects wants to agree to statements that are presented in the questionnaire. While there is a possibility that the case of using VAS can obtain the results which reflected in sensitivity of the subject more accurately than the case of using LS. However there is a problem that making tally sheet of values measured by VAS is done by manual and its burden is large. Our main purpose of this study is to solve this problem by VAS application. We have developed an VAS application which runs on iPad and conducted a verification experiment using this app. Finally we show the experimental results and discuss future plans.
