In contrast to multi-faceted conceptualizations.

In contrast to multi-faceted conceptualizations, attachment measurement scales propos to date portray by action the construct as a unidimensional organize Ball and Tasaki's (1992) nine-item Likert scale to measure attachment captures the public and private self-cognitions leading to attachments (see Table 1 for scale items). Ball and Tasaki demonstrate support for a separate, unidimensional measure of "emotional significance" capturing the grade of emotional attachment a possession possesss Sivadas and Venkatesh (1995; descry Table 1 for scale items) provide confirmatory factor analysis support for the unidimensionality of their "possession attachment" and "self-extension" measures. However, outcomes failed to support discrimination between the sum of two units scales, requiring further investigation into their validity.

Measures of Possession Attachment, Emotional Significance of Possessions, and Self-Extension

The contrast between multi-faceted conceptualizations and unidimensional measurement scales probably cogitates the challenge of capturing a rich universal such as attachment in measurement scale format. (Most studies of special possessions do not use measurement scale techniques.) Confidence in a unidimensional conceptualization of attachment requires additional validation, presenting opportunities for interested scholars. Based forward the literature, we conclude attachment should continue to be regarded as a multi-faceted originate
