The Marketing Scales website is a gold mine of information. It is the only source that helps me understand the psychometric quality of the instruments used in past research. I recommend that researchers bookmark this site . . . they will be back!
congruence
The compatibility of a brand and a cause-related organization having some sort of partnership is measured with three, seven-point semantic differentials.
How well two brands are considered to be compatible and a good fit for co-branding a product or event is measured with three questions and a 101-point response scale.
With three, seven-point Likert-type items, the scale measures the degree to which a person believes an object or experience is closely associated with his/her identity.
The degree to which a person thinks that an object, such as a product, expresses his/her personal uniqueness is measured with three, seven-point Likert items.
The degree to which a sponsoring entity and a sponsee are viewed as fitting together well is measured with three, seven-point semantic differentials. (A sponsee is the entity being sponsored, such as an event, an organization, or a cause.)
How much a person feels close to and identifies with other customers of a particular company is measured with four, five-point items.
Using three, seven-point uni-polar items, the scale measures how much a person believes one brand is closely related in some way to another brand. In particular, the scale and its corresponding stem (question) were developed for use when comparing the fit between a brand associated with a product and a brand name associated with a charity.
The scale uses three, seven-point semantic differentials to measure how well two objects are considered to fit each other and be compatible.
How similar a person believes he/she is compared to another person is measured with three, seven-point semantic differentials.
Six, seven-point Likert-type items are used to measure how well organized and easy to understand an ad is which a person has seen.
