In this paper, German translations of the Maximizing Tendency Scale (MTS-7, Dalal et al., 2015) and the Alternative Search Scale of the Maximization Inventory (MI-AS, Turner et al., 2012) were tested for their internal consistency and validity. With a student sample of 99 and a population sample of 348, the scales’ psychometric properties measuring maximizing following the two-component maximizing model are shown. Further, a hypothetical information search task and a meaningful choice task (with real-world consequences for the participants) were utilized to investigate the relationship between maximizing and consumer behavior. The translated scales show good psychometric properties, while the behavioral measures showed no linear relationship with maximizing tendencies. Future research should further investigate behavioral differences between maximizing and satisficing consumers.
Ziel dieses Handbuchs ist es, in die Methode des Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) einzuführen und sie für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen anwendbar zu machen. In diesem Handbuch wird vertieft auf methodische Fragestellungen eingegangen. Darüber hinaus erfolgt eine Einfürhrung in Themen wie Unsicherheit, Qualitätssicherung, Verwertung und Kommunikation der Ergebnisse.
