Can I use OLS regression for 10-point Likert scale dependent variable?
According to Fielding (1999), Greene (2000) and Daykin and Moffatt (2002), linear regression analysis of ordered outcomes (Hellevik, 2009) creates statistical complexity and misinformation in results interpretation. Much of the available literature on survey analysis presumes logistic or probit regressions. However, the majority of available survey research papers on public attitudes applies probit type of analysis, which follows in line with Daykin and Moffatt (2002) argument that probit regression suites for ordinal data.
My supervisor, who is professor in Public Opinion advised me to use OLS if I struggle with probit regression analysis.
