What it measures

Usage notes & scoring

Reliability reached .80 in two of three reported administrations (α = .85, Study 2a; α = .83, Study 4) but fell just under .80 in a third (α = .78, Study 5; Pratt et al. 2023, pp. 1152, 1155, 1156); alphas for Studies 2b and 2c were not reported. Validity was not separately reported. Two of the three items show some similarity to an established service-quality behavioral-consequences scale (Zeithaml, Berry, and Parasuraman 1996), though the authors also cited an unrelated complaint-loyalty scale (Umashankar, Ward, and Dahl 2017) that does not resemble these items. The blank should be filled with the focal brand name.
