Advertising & Persuasion Scales
259 validated scales · all free to use
Scales for measuring responses to advertising and persuasive communication. The domain includes the classic attitude toward the ad measures, source credibility scales for spokespeople and celebrity endorsers, the Narrative Transportation Scale, the Persuasion Knowledge Scale, Advertising Scepticism and emotional response to advertising, along with measures of ad involvement, message framing, attention, entertainment value and congruence. Many scales in this domain come from the Marketing Scales Handbook series and capture specific ad-evoked responses such as mental imagery, joy, information overload and message concreteness, which makes them well suited to experimental advertising research and manipulation checks. Parasocial interaction and TV programme connectedness measures sit here too; for influencer credibility and eWOM, see Digital Marketing & Technology.
