A three-item scale measuring the degree to which a person likes, considers a friend, and gets along well with another individual in a specified relationship role. The relationship type is indicated by inserting an appropriate descriptor in the blank of each item (e.g., neighbour, financial adviser, physician, co-consumer). Items were adapted from a four-item scale by Wayne & Ferris (1990) developed to measure liking for a work subordinate. Used as one of three dimensions of social relationship quality in experiments examining whether automated group recommender systems improve hedonic product choice when group members have pre-existing social relationships.
