Score circumplex scales from item responses

Calculate mean scores on circumplex scales from item responses by using a set of scoring instructions, which may be loaded from the package or created as a custom data frame.

score(.data, items, instrument, na.rm = TRUE, prefix = "",
  suffix = "")

Arguments

.data	Required. A data frame containing at least circumplex scales.
items	Required. The variable names or column numbers for the variables in .data that contain all the circumplex items from a single circumplex measure, in ascending order from item 1 to item N.
instrument	Required. An instrument object from the package. To see the available circumplex instruments, use instruments().
na.rm	Optional. A logical that determines if missing values should be omitted from the calculation of scores (default = TRUE). When set to TRUE, scales with missing data are essentially calculated with mean imputation.
prefix	Optional. A string to include at the beginning of the newly calculated scale variables' names, before Abbrev from key and suffix (default = "").
suffix	Optional. A string to include at the end of the newly calculated scale variables' names, after Abbrev from key and prefix (default = "").

Value

A data frame that matches .data except that new variables are appended that contain mean scores on each variable included in key.
