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.

The scale is composed of three statements that measure a customer's opinion regarding the reason why a retailer offers a low-price guarantee. In particular, the scale measures the degree to which a consumer believes the low-price guarantee is offered in order serve its own financial interests rather than to be customer-oriented.

Three, four-point statements are used to assess the degree to which a consumer views the managers at a specified company as acting appropriately if/when factory closings are being considered. As used in the study by Klein, Smith, and John (2004), the items appear to be scored such that high scores suggest a person believes it would be flagrantly offensive to close factories unnecessarily.

The Likert-type scale is composed of four, seven-point statements measuring the respondent's attitude about the role that advertising plays in the success of a business.
