Our literature review indicated that most researchers treated ceiling or floor data as if these data were true values and that some researchers used statistical.

In layperson terms your questions are too hard for the group you are testing.
Ceiling effects and floor effects both limit the range of data reported by the instrument reducing variability in the gathered data.

A ceiling effect occurs when a measure possesses a distinct upper limit for potential responses and a large concentration of participants score at or near this limit the opposite of a floor effect.
There is very little variance because the floor of your test is too high.
O most common violation.
For example suppose the investigator uses the same three point rating scale as before 1 below average 2 average 3 above average.
Ceiling and floor effects are often observed in social and behavioral science.
Several studies have also noted negligible ceiling effects for upper extremity 16 40 lower extremity 22 23 spine 14 41 42 neck 33 and trauma patients 43.
However there is variation among reported promis pi floor effects that appears to depend on patient population.
Previous studies have expressed mixed results regarding the postoperative ceiling effect in the ohs.
5 8 ceiling and floor effects occur when a considerable proportion of subjects score the best maximum or worst minimum score rendering the measure unable to discriminate between subjects at either extreme of the scale.
When to suspect that an ordinal interaction is due to floor effects.
This is even more of a problem with multiple choice tests.
Just as ceiling effects can account for ordinal interactions so can their opposites floor effects.
