Abstract:

THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SUBJECTIVE RATING SCALE CONSTRUCTION THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN PSYCHOPHYSICS AND APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE SUBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT OF PAVEMENT SERVICEABILITY. THE RATIONALE UNDERLYING THE AASHO ROAD TEST PAVEMENT SERVICEABILITY RATING SYSTEM IS EXAMINED ON THE BASIS OF THESE PRINCIPLES. ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE DEFICIENCIES OF THIS SERVICEABILITY MEASURING TECHNIQUE ARE ILLUSTRATED, THE FULL IMPACT OF THESE PRINCIPLES CANNOT BE ASSESSED UNTIL FURTHER EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ARE UNDERTAKEN. /AUTHOR/
