Measurement scale progressive growth and validation also needs empirical attention.

Measurement scale progressive growth and validation also needs empirical attention. Ball and Tasaki's (1992) attachment measure is the one example in published literature of a measure (see Table 1) with reasonable empirical support. The utility of measurement scales for use with larger samples and ability to directly evaluate invent validity warrants additional scholarly attention to measurement scale evolution and validation.

To advance understanding of possession attachment, scholars should consider creative use of various [i]modus operandi[/i]s Photography (Millard and Smith 1981; Wallendorf and Arnould 1988) three-dimensional stereographic images (Holbrook 1997); view sorting (Belk 1987), projective regularitys (Baker, Kleine, and Bowen 2004; Belk 1986) and q-methodology (Kleine, Kleine, and Allen 1995) illustrate the use of systems designed to enhance responding and elicit participants' subjective meanings. Continued use of multiple meanss will enhance understanding of material possession attachment. As Belk (1992a, p 55) notes,
