I really appreciate your marketing scales database online. It is an important resource for both our students and our researchers as well. Since my copies of the original books are slowly disintegrating due to the intensive use, I am happy that you are making them available in this way. It is very helpful in the search for viable constructs on which to do sound scientific research.

The scale measures how common a person believes it is in a certain setting for people to behave in ways that are unfriendly. The scale was made for use in a situation where customers interact with service employees. However, the items appear like they could be used with minimal changes in many other contexts as long as people are interacting with others using verbal and non-verbal means to express unfriendliness. Items for both an eleven-item and a seven-item version are described.
The three item, seven-point Likert scale measures how much a person believes other customers in the store treat employees in an unfriendly manner.
