Measurement of socially responsible consumption: Lecompte’s scale Spanish version validation

Abstract

The social and ethical issues arising from the purchase of products and services are increasingly taken into account in the consumption environment. This is what is called Social Responsible Consumption. In order to give consumers a better option, the analysis of this behavior should be of interest to companies which aim to connect with their values. One of the main problems to accomplish this goal is the complex nature of measurement and study of this matter. The aim of this essay is to justify and validate a Spanish version of Lecompte’s scale which aim is to offer a multidimensional measure of the construct. With appropriate adjustments and modifications, this scale will be validated, and, its multidimensional scope will be corroborated.
