Testimonial

I really appreciate your marketing scales database online. It is an important resource for both our students and our researchers as well. Since my copies of the original books are slowly disintegrating due to the intensive use, I am happy that you are making them available in this way. It is very helpful in the search for viable constructs on which to do sound scientific research.

The scale is composed of four, five-point Likert-type items that are intended to measure social and psychological aspects of a child's beliefs about caring for his/her teeth in the opinion of one his/her parents. In other words, the scale is meant to be filled out by a parent of the child. Thus, in essence, what is being measured is the parent's beliefs about a child's beliefs.

Nine, five-point statements are used to measure the degree to which a person is interested in, cares about, and sympathizes with a character on a television program. Russell and Stern (2006) referred to the scale as parasocial attachment.
