Usage notes & scoring

Based on measures by Park, Milberg, and Lawson (1991) and Shavitt (1989). Alphas .83 (core brand) reported by Martin and Stewart (2001) and replicated in Martin, Stewart, and Matta (2005). Items 1–3 refer to the brand; items 4–6 refer to the product category—blanks should be replaced accordingly. A seventh extracted item is instruction text, not a survey item.
