Is it okay to use a 5-point Likert scale and a 6-point Likert scale in different sections of the same questionnaire?

Hi! I’m an undergraduate student currently working on our research, and I’d like to ask for advice regarding our questionnaire.

Our questionnaire has two independent sections that measure different constructs:

Behavior - 5-point Likert scale

(Never-Always)

Perception - 6-point Likert scale

(Strongly Disagree-Strongly Agree)

These are separate constructs, and we are not planning to combine them into one overall score or compare/correlate the two scales. We simply want to analyze and interpret each section separately.

So my question is: is it statistically/methodologically acceptable to have different Likert scales in different sections of the same questionnaire, when the sections measure independent constructs and each section has its own separate computation and interpretation?

Thank you!

how normal ba is it for a guy to save nsfw pics of other guys?

kasi I saw around 3 different nsfw photos of other guys on my fwb's phone. when I asked him about it, he said they’re from his friends daw and he just saved them to make fun of them. it sounded believable naman bc I’ve known him for like a month na and mahilig talaga siya mang-trip. but idk i find it weird like... bakit mo isi-save? hindi nga niya sini-save yung mga nudes na sinesend ko tapos may tatlong random na nude ng ibang lalaki sa gallery niya. idk parang ang off lang talaga and medyo naweirdan ako. is this a normal guy thing or am I right to find it weird?

My bf moaned another girl's name while I was giving him head. Should I worry?

While I was giving my bf head, bigla siyang nag-moan ng name ng ibang girl. Nag-sorry lang siya, acted like it was no big deal, and just told me to continue sucking him off. After he came, I confronted him about it then he said name lang daw yun ng female officemate niya and bigla lang daw niyang nabanggit kasi magka-usap sila sa office earlier. Honest mistake lang daw.

The thing is, we had a fight a week ago and ngayon lang ulit kami nagkita. Tbh pinalampas ko nalang talaga at tinanggap ko nalang yung explanation niya kasi ayaw ko nang mag-away na naman kami. But now that I'm alone again, I can't stop overthinking. I'm wondering if sa one week na hindi kami okay, may ginawa ba siyang kagaguhan. Did something happen between him and that girl? Is he secretly fantasizing about her while he's with me? Was it really just an honest mistake?

To the guys here, have any of you ever done something like that before by accident? Or should I start worrying? Tangina this guy is always stressing me tf outttt! 🤦‍♀️

My BF literally cried just because I won’t have sex with him 😭 NAKAKAINIS!!!

Naiinis ako (F20) sa bf (M23) ko because I feel like he’s lowkey guilt-tripping me just to have sex with him. I’ve said no so many times already. I have my reasons naman. I’m genuinely terrified of getting pregnant. Like, even if he uses a condom, it’s still a hard pass for me.

Every time he initiates, I always decline. I give him BJs instead and I even let him touch me. Honestly I let him do literally anything to my body except penetration.

Just earlier, he initiated again and he was being super mapilit. I said no and offered a BJ instead, but then it escalated into a fight then biglang naging emotional na siya 😭 He said I’m making him feel so insecure at baka raw mas prefer ko ang pussy over dick (just bc I used to like a girl before him).

I really like him naman but bruhhhhh natatakot talaga akong mabuntis! And medyo natatakot din ako sa dick niya coz of its girth. Tho average lang length nya but parang ang taba (?) ng dick nya huhu. It looks like it’s gonna hurt. 😣

I just walked out and went straight back to my apartment (we don't live together). Up until now, he hasn’t even messaged me to ask if I got home safe or what. He’s giving me the silent treatment. So bahala siya sa buhay niya. Skl here because this is so embarrassing to share with my friends. 😭
