This quantitative study explores the moderating effects of psychological resilience, feelings of inferiority, and coping style between adult attachment styles and social anxiety among undergraduate students in Gansu, China. Using PLS-SEM and multistage cluster sampling, the research analysed data from 1,371 students using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale and Adult Attachment Scale. The study's findings articulate a negative direct effect of adult attachment on coping styles (_ = -0.064, T = 4.802, p < 0.001). Conversely, there is a positive direct effect of adult attachment and social anxiety (_ = 0.08, T = 2.057, p = 0.020). Coping style is a significant negative predictor of social anxiety (_ = -0.163, T = 3.384, p < 0.001). Most notably, feelings of inferiority as a moderator positively effect social anxiety (_ = 0.384, T = 11.979, p < 0.001). In contrast, psychological resilience demonstrated a strong negative moderating effect with social anxiety (_ = -0.292, T = 8.46, p < 0.001.....

Surveys are fundamental research tools extensively used by researchers and academic experts across various fields. Their significance lies in their ability to give respondents autonomy in evaluating presented items. An essential part of crafting an effective survey involves carefully selecting scaling methods during the instrument construction phase. This study conducts a narrative literature review to analyse existing findings on the use of Likert scales, mapping out how these scales are applied to understand the interplay between scale divisions in social sciences research. Likert scales are popular in diverse fields, including social sciences, psychology, politics, and economics. However, existing methodologies for instrument construction often lack a comprehensive depiction of the most suitable scales for specific studies. This paper aims to address this gap by providing guidance and enhancing understanding for researchers in selecting appropriate and relevant scales, particularly .....
