1 Brand Love Scales Rick Bagozzi, Rajeev Batra, and Aaron Ahuvia Working Paper, University of Michigan September 29, 2013 Copies of this paper may be downloaded from www.brandlovecentral.com This document contains a 26 item brand love scale, a 13 item “short scale”, a 6 item “mini‐ scale,” and the complete 56 item brand love measure used in Batra, Ahuvia and Bagozzi (2013 JM). In most situations, the 26 item scale is the best option. It is more practical than the 56 item measure, yet still has good measurement properties. Importantly, the 26 item scale also allows researchers to pinpoint the strength of a brand on each separated component of brand love, and uncover the important relationships between the subscales. This document also contains various other scales of possible interest, see the table of contents below. Please cite the brand love scales in this document as Bagozzi, R. P., Batra, R., & Ahuvia, A.
