Abstract

Evaluation can be described as the psychological process which a subject has to perform when a subject is requested to give a determination of merit regarding an item (the attributes of a service, a product or in general, any tangible or intangible object) using a certain ordinal scale. This process is rooted in the subject’s perception of the value/quality/performance of the object under evaluation.
