Abstract
Numbers are a fundamental tool in behavioral sciences, helping to transform complex phenomena into measurable and analyzable data, enabling researchers to understand human behavior and test scientific hypotheses. However, researchers face challenges in selecting appropriate measurement scales and understanding statistical analyses, which can lead to inaccurate conclusions. Additionally, cultural and linguistic factors can influence how participants interpret numbers in studies. To overcome these challenges, researchers must handle numbers with precision and deep understanding to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of their research.
