Abstract :
Scientific research consists of the results achieved with the processing of data collected systematically in various qualities and examination. That is a prerequisite of being scientific is measurable. In this case, the accuracy of the results scientific in a study of the true data collected in the survey makes it directly related. The subject of the scientific activities that the objective world, there are all features are observable characteristics. Scientific activities are built on the observability and measurement/scalability is also built on the observability. This phenomenon is to be used in t he data collection process in a research data collection (measurement) removes tools to the fore. That is essentially a measure of scientific activity/data collection could be called hearing. This article describes the importance of measurement in applied social science research Based on these basic assumptions, will focus on some scales and scale building techniques. Applied social sciences and many different types depending on the purpose of the research study and level of scale (scale building technique) although most commonly used and effective technique used to establish the scale Likert Scale is building techniques. Although this use of Likert-type scale building techniques often faulty in some studies (non-infrastructure according to the theoretical form) is observed it is used. Therefore, this article carries the infrastructure by addressing the theoretical discussion of the Likert scale building techniques to determine the principles and techniques needed to use the most accurately as possible.
