Today, almost all systems are sociotechnical. The validation of the technical component is based on quantitative measurements and comparisons with various standards. On the other hand, the assessment of social factors is not so simple and is based on measurements of the audience’s attitude. Usually, Likert-type surveys are used for such purposes. In order to obtain adequate information about the attitude of the audience, first of all, the survey must be properly prepared and a suitable audience must be selected, but the obtained results must be statistically processed. There are dozens of different statistical methods, but it is important to determine the most useful set of methods for different situations. The article has been developed in the form of a short manual/handbook, including calculation examples and recommendations. The article will be useful for both students and researchers, as well as project managers who need to measure the attitude of the target audience.
