The Marketing Scales Handbook is indispensible in identifying how constructs have been measured and the support for a measure's validity and reliability. I have used it since the beginning as a resource in my doctoral seminar and as an aid to my own research. An electronic version will make it even more accessible to researchers in Marketing and affiliated fields.

The scale is composed of four, seven-point Likert-type statements that are intended to measure how much emotional distress a person says would be experienced if separated from a particular object. The object could be a person, place, or thing; in the case of the studies by Thomson (2006), the object was "human brands" such as celebrities and other well-known people.

The scale has three Likert-type statements that are used to assess the extent to which a consumer expresses interest in a certain brand.

The scale seems to measure a person's overall interest in soccer but most particularly gauges the degree to which a person was involved in watching a particular game on television.  The measure is composed of eight, seven-point items with seven of the items being of the Likert-type.
