IMEB-M
Instrument for Measuring Epistemic Beliefs in Marketing
Short abstract
The IMEB-M measures the individual ideas about knowledge and knowledge acquisition in marketing. It builds on the model of epistemic convictions of Hofer and Pintrich (1997) and Berding (2015, 2016, 2017). The questionnaire comprises 34 empirically tested items that capture the ideas about (1) structure, (2) source, (3) applicability, (4) stability and (5) justification of knowledge in marketing. Reliability: Reliability generally fluctuates between .70 and .81 depending on the study and scale. Validity: The factor structure was confirmed in several studies by confirmatory factor analyses. The Fornell-Larcker criterion and forest tests prove the discriminatory validity of the scales. There is evidence of connections to grades and motivation to learn.
