Mathematics & Statistics / diagram
English term or phrase: anchor
I need to translate just a couple of sentences to go with a diagram and come across this one: "The anchors represent the highest and lowest scores", the anchors in the diagram being two small horizontal bars on either side of the range shown in the diagram". I cannot find a fitting Dutch translation for anchor. Any statistical wizards out there?

APA Fact of the Week – Anchors of a Scale

A common error I come across when editing dissertations is the presentation of anchors of a scale, or scale information in general. When discussing the anchors of a scale involved in your study, such as a Likert-type style, APA prefers those anchors to be presented in parentheses and italicized, following the anchor numbers (APA6, p. 105). For example, if you were analyzing participants’ responses to a health ratings scale, the text would appear as follows,

[Correct]: health ratings ranged from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent)

[Incorrect]: health ratings ranged from one (poor) to five (excellent)

health ratings ranged from 1 = “poor” to 5 = “excellent

The following presents an example of an APA-correct sentence that explains a Likert scale.

Aan de respondent wordt gevraagd de mate van instemming met een bepaalde uitspraak aan te geven door middel van een meerkeuze antwoordmodel. De extremen van het antwoordmodel geven de mate van instemming met, dan wel afwijzing van, de uitspraak aan. Veel gebruikte extremen zijn "volledig mee eens" en "volledig mee oneens", hoewel andere varianten ook tot de mogelijkheden behoren.

Ankerpunten Er kan geopteerd worden om enkel positieve ankerpunten te gebruiken, bijvoorbeeld een 7-puntenschaal die gaat van 1 tot 7, of er kan gekozen worden voor een combinatie van positieve en negatieve ankerpunten, bijvoorbeeld een 7-puntenschaal die gaat van -3 tot +3.
Label De bedoeling van een verbaal label is om de antwoordopties te verduidelijken.
Vaak worden labels gebruikt in combinatie met de ankerpunten. Men kan kiezen om alle ankerpunten te labelen of enkel bepaalde ankerpunten een label te geven. In het laatste geval kan men bijvoorbeeld enkel de neutrale optie of enkel de schaaluiteinden (extrema) labelen.
