Measuring is complex and critical for research in marketing, advertising, and consumer psychology. These books are excellent tools for researchers and professionals of those areas that need to find reliable and valid scales for their research. They have helped me save time and consider new constructs in my academic research.
attitudes
A five-item, five-point scale is used to measure the importance a consumer places on objective, functional, and economic issues before buying products. This was referred to as economic motivations for consumption by Moschis (1978, 1981) and Carlson and Grossbart (1988; Grossbart, Carlson, and Walsh 1991).
A three-item scale is used to measure the relative preference a consumer has between two competing brands of a product.
A six-item, seven-point Likert-type scale is used to measure the degree to which a person who has just gone through an experience with other people describes feeling closer to them because of the events and activities they shared. Arnould and Price (1993) referred to the construct measured as communitas.
A four-item, seven-point semantic differential scale is used to measure how a person feels about attempting to lose weight during the upcoming week.
A four-item, seven-point semantic differential scale is used to measure the value-related aspects of a consumer's attitude toward some specific product.
The three-item, seven-point scale attempts to assess a person's stated likelihood of getting a diagnostic blood test in the future.
This four-item, eight-point scale is used to measure a consumer's attitude toward some new product concept.
A seven-item, seven-point semantic differential is used to measure a consumer's evaluation of a product in mostly utilitarian terms.
A four-item, seven-point Likert-type scale is used to measure the degree to which a person who has filled out a questionnaire believes his/her responses will remain anonymous.
A three-item, six-point Likert-type scale is used to measure a consumer's attitude toward the social benefits of complaining after a dissatisfying transaction has occurred.
