The Marketing Scales Handbooks
Volume 6 Table of Contents*
The scales included in Volume 6 of the Marketing Scales Handbook are listed below. Please note there are several instances of entries with the same title (e.g., #7-#9). As in the previous volumes, these represent distinctly different measures of the same construct. In contrast, usage of the same or very similar measures in different studies have been included in the same review. As with Volume 5, all of the scales have been organized into one section rather than being grouped into different sections.
