Validated NPI measurement can flexibly target one, some, or all parties

Evidence

A second important point lies in the novel possibility of deciding whether to measure NPI only for one (or a limited number of) party, or for all of them. Because we started from a larger number of items (six), we had to make a selection in terms of parties. As discussed above, we decided to measure NPI only on two parties per country. However, our new scale offers the possibility to take such decision depending on the objectives of a research design. This seems especially useful in a multiparty system. — Sabrina J.
