Further evidence on the psychometric properties of the cad scale: A replication in Saudi Arabia

Extending consumer behavior concepts into Various cultures becomes increasingly important in an ever-expanding global economy. Because of this, and in keeping with the scientific tradition of replication and extension research, this study examines the psychometric properties of the CAD scale in Saudi Arabia. Responses from a Saudi sample were analyzed via internal consistency reliability, factor analysis, and item-domain and inter-domain correlations. Internal consistency was low and factor loadings did not follow expectations. Other correlations were satisfactory but also indicated high domain interrelationships. These analyses suggest that the CAD scale does not demonstrate cross-national viability in Saudi Arabia.
