Abstract

The literature on PSM produced a variety of measures that researchers use in empirical studies. This chapter presents a descriptive overview of the most commonly used scales in empirical PSM studies. Indeed, the measurement of PSM has by now produced a notable set of methodologically oriented studies of which the latest development is the addition of new dimensions to the PSM scale. The chapter reviews these developments.
