Is it better to use a Likert scale or Semantic Differential for gathering attitudes towards pages?

by UXStackExchange on April 1, 2014 in Devices, E-Commerce, Forms, General, Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Interfaces, JavaScript, LA UX Jobs, Marketing, Material Design, Mobile, Personas, Product Strategy, Prototyping, Resources, Responsive Web Design, Stakeholder interviews, surveys, Testing, UI, Usability, User Experience, User Interaction, User Research, User testing, UX Design, UX Rockstars, UX Toolbox, Visual Design, website-design

For gathering users' emotional reactions to web pages via a survey, a researcher could use either a Likert scale (e.g., Agree Strongly - Agree Somewhat - Indifferent - Disagree Somewhat - Disagree Strongly) or a semantic differential, (e.g., Love - Like - Indifferent - Dislike - Hate). Please note: I'm not talking about doing a usability test; this is about attitude surveys.

Why would a user researcher choose Likert instead of Semantic Differential or visa-versa?
