Summary/Abstract: The subject matter of authors’ deliberations is construction of the scale for measurement of consumers’ attitudes towards market products. The article is of a methodological and empirical nature. In its first part, the authors described the notion and subject matter of the very attitude as well as they indicated a complex structure of consumers’ attitudes. That complexity causes that the marketing research methodology puts a strong emphasis on good-quality tools and methods of measurement of attitudes allowing for fair and correct determination of their multiaspect nature. In the subsequent part, they discussed all key issues relating to the methodology of measuring consumers’ attitudes (in particular, concerning attitudes towards market products). Therefore, they paid a particular attention to the process of construction of the scale and definition of the terms. They also described the procedure of operationalization of variables and the assumptions of construction of the scale of measure. Finally, the authors presented results of their empirical research within the framework of construction of the scale for measuring consumers’ attitudes towards market products.
