Testimonial

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.

Four, seven-point statements are used to assess the degree to which a person focuses more on the style of an ad versus the brand-related information. The phrasing of the items makes them more appropriate for print ads than for commercials.

The scale is composed of three, nine-point statements indicating a person's agreement that a print advertisement's headline was open to interpretation and noticeable effort was expended to give meaning to it.

The scale is composed of four, seven-point statements used to measure a person's sense of the amount of relevant product information that is provided in a commercial communication to which he/she has been exposed.

The scale is composed of seven, seven-point bi-polar adjectives used to measure a person's attitude toward the message portion of an advertisement or some other form of commercial communication (e.g., infomercial).

A three-item, seven-point semantic differential is used to measure a consumer's liking of the source of information about a particular product. As used by Tripp, Jensen, and Carlson (1994), the scale specifically measured the likeability of a celebrity endorser of a product in a mock magazine ad.
