Podsumowanie	Ordinal scale development is the systematic construction and validation of multi-item measurement instruments whose response options form an ordered but not necessarily equal-interval sequence — most commonly Likert-type formats (e.g., 1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree). It applies psychometric techniques that respect the ordinal nature of items rather than treating them as continuous.	Ordinal reliability analysis estimates the internal consistency of scales whose items are measured on ordered-category (Likert-type) response formats. By basing computations on polychoric correlations rather than Pearson correlations, it corrects for the attenuation that standard Cronbach's alpha produces when responses are discrete and non-normal.
