| Abstract: | Market research is fraught with controversies, vagaries and recurrent problems. One of the topics about which there has been a long history of complaints is the quality of scalar measures in marketing research. Despite continuing advances in statistical methods, problems in scalar measures persist. This paper reports the findings on a review of marketing scale batteries developed since the publication of Churchill's (1979) paper outlining a method for reliable and valid scale development. The authors found four problem areas. These are discussed and solutions suggested. |
