La 4e de couv.indique : "This is the seventh volume in the long-running Marketing Scales Handbook series. The purpose of the book is to help readers benefit from vetted research by some of the world's consumer behavior experts. By learning about the measures used by the experts, the hope is that those who borrow the well-developed scales rather than using "quick-and-dirty" measures will achieve higher quality insights in their research activities. The book contains reviews of 364 multi-item measures that were reported in one or more articles published in top marketing journals in 2010 and 2011. Each review provides the scale items (questions or statements) as well as information about the sc...
This sixth volume in the series reviews 682 consumer-related measurement scales that were reported in top marketing journal articles published from 2006 to 2009. Each review provides the scale items as well as information regarding the scale's origin, previous users, and measurement quality.
"Which measurement scales have been used the most in consumer insight research? Dr. Bruner, author of the classic Marketing Scales Handbook series, set out to answer that question. After reviewing several thousand multi-item measures used in scholarly research of consumer issues, it was clear that some scales had been used much more than others. Twenty of those are the focus of the book. Not only do these "top 20" indicate what is popular with marketing scholars but is provides details about how to precisely measure some of the most important psychological constructs that shape consumer behavior. This book is meant for researcher in a variety of fields who are interested in reliable measures for use in surveys and experiments. Instead of using simplistic measures of dubious quality or, at the other extreme, having to build and refine measures from scratch, researchers can use the book to learn from the experts who have already crafted quality measures. By using better scales, accuracy is increased which, thereby, improves the results of analyses and the decisions based upon them."--Back cover.
Jerome Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution, with its current fixation on mind as “information processor,” has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations imposed by a computational model of mind can we grasp the special interaction through which mind both constitutes and is constituted by culture.
The Marketing Scales Handbook series is the longest-running set of books that provide reviews of multi-item survey measures used in scholarly studies of consumer behavior. This volume picks up where Volume 7 ended and has reviews of 392 new scales that were reported in top marketing journal articles published in 2012 and 2013. Each review has information about a scale's source, its psychometric quality, and the questions/statements that compose the measure. The bulk of the scales in Volume 8 have to do with topics typical to the series such as brands, advertising, stores, purchasing, emotions, and relationships. Other topics included this volume were less covered in the previous books and ha...
Instruction is an effort to assist or to shape growth. In devising instruction for the young, one would be ill advised indeed to ignore what is known about growth, its constraints and opportunities. And a theory of instruction - and this book is a series of exercises in such a theory - is in effect a theory of how growth and development are assisted by diverse means.
Drawing on recent work in literary theory, linguistics, and symbolic anthropology, as well as cognitive and developmental psychology Professor Bruner examines the mental acts that enter into the imaginative creation of possible worlds, and he shows how the activity of imaginary world making undergirds human science, literature, and philosophy, as well as everyday thinking, and even our sense of self. - Publisher.
