What's a good way to contrast two measured concepts from a survey? [on hold]

So, I'm working on how to analyze the relationship between two measures that have been calculated by aggregating responses on a Likert Scale where strongly disagree=1, strongly agree=6...Our research question is expecting the two measures to have an inverse relationship (measure 1 = how much partisan media bias is perceived in support of one's political affiliation & measure 2 = how much partisan media bias is perceived against one's political affiliation), so we want to find a "score" that represents the degree of difference between the two measures...
Would the best way to go about this be to take a percentage/decimal of the max possible score for each measure and then subtract measure 1 from measure 2? or divide one measure by the other?
Any help would be appreciated!

you could look at the correlation between the two measures.
