A clinical researcher investigating aggression in a secure psychiatric ward has designed a self-report questionnaire for patients. The questionnaire consists of various statements about the ward environment and patients have to indicate their agreement with each statement.
One statement in the questionnaire is: 'The level of crowding in the communal lounge makes me feel irritable.' The current response options are 'Yes' and 'No'.
Suggest how the response options in the questionnaire could be modified to better assess how much patients agree with this statement.
