Correct answer: (C) Attitudes

Explanation

The Likert scale is used to measure a set of attitudes through degrees of agreement with statements.

Respondents choose from strongly agree to strongly disagree, usually across five points.

Values are broader guiding principles, not what this scale directly gauges.

Norms are shared social expectations, again not its measurement target.

Formulae are mathematical expressions, unrelated to attitude scaling.

Rensis Likert devised the scale in 1932.
