Richard G. Netemeyer Books

While a vast number of scale instruments have been published in various journals and conference proceedings, a comprehensive handbook of multi-item scales, with directions on how to use them, has never been published - until now. After an overview of the development of multi-item scales, the remaining chapters include scales on leading topics important to marketing individual behaviour; values; information processing; reactions to advertising stimuli; attitudes and ethics; and sales and sales management practices. Each of the 124 scales is presented in a consistent format, including the construct, description, development, samples, validity, scores, source, other evidence, other sources, references and scale items

Scaling Procedures: Issues and Applications examines the issues involved in developing and validating multi-item self-report scales of latent constructs. Distinguished researchers and award-winning educators Richard G. Netemeyer, William O. Bearden, and Subhash Sharma present a four-step approach for multi-indicator scale development. With these steps, the authors include relevant empirical examples and a review of the concepts of dimensionality, reliability, and validity. Scaling Procedures: Issues and Applications supplies cutting-edge strategies for developing and refining measures. Providing concise chapter introductions and summaries, as well as numerous tables, figures, and exhibits, the authors present recommended steps and overlapping activities in a logical, sequential progression.
