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.
relationships
Three, five-point items measure how much a person believes a particular event or activity motivated him/her to think about forming relationships with other people.
How much a person is interested in learning more about another individual, being closer to him/her, and becoming his/her friend is measured with nine, seven-point items.
The degree of compatibility a person believes he/she has with a “partner” regarding brand preferences is measured with three, seven-point items.
The degree to which a customer believes a service provider is the best is because it understands his/her needs better than the others. The scale is composed of three, seven-point Likert-type items.
Four, five-point Likert-type items measure a customer’s degree of commitment and loyalty. The scale is general in the sense that it can be easily adapted for use with a variety of business entities such as a company, brand, store, or website.
With three, seven-point Likert items, the scale measures how much a customer will return to receive service from a particular provider in the future. The items are phrased hypothetically but a very slight change in wording can make the scale relevant for use with an actual business relationship.
The extent to which a person would actively avoid interacting with others if he/she were in a certain physical environment is measured with three, seven-point items.
The belief that one’s parent(s) firmly directed the children while they were growing up and expected unquestioning obedience is measured with ten Likert items.
This scale uses ten Likert items to measure the degree to which a person believes that his/her parent(s) provided clear and firm direction for their kids while they were growing up but were reasonable and flexible as well.
The scale uses three, seven-point Likert items to measure the degree to which the feedback provided by a customer to a service provider is meant to show concern for the future of their relationship.
