[Pilot study on interval gradation for the evaluation of conditions related to the desire to bear children].
The purpose of this investigation was to test the method of Comparative Judgement in connection with the question, which conditions are relevant, if a woman want to give birth to a child. 31 pregnant woman, who intend to get interrupted their pregnancies had to decide by pairs about conditions which relate to health, age, parity, education, calling resp. profession, situation of dwelling and income and to personal or confessional questions. On the basis of the Law of Comparative Judgement (Thurstone 1937) we constructed an interval scale about these conditions.
