Hi!

I am using R to process some community survey data. Several item responses are recorded via a 7-point Likert-Scale. As I have coded the responses, 1 represents high agreement, and 7 high disagreement. This of course impacts the coefficients in a linear regression (of example agreement to self-perception measures on housing satisfaction). For some purposes, in order to make the coefficients more accessible to the reader, I would like to invert the item values, i.e. to arrive at 1 for high disagreement, and 7 for high agreement (such that the linear regression would express something like "the higher the agreement on A, the greater the B).

Is there an already existing function for this, or do I use a custom replace loop in R?

Thank you, Alexis
