The five dimension labels (and numbers of items per dimension) are as follows: price and distribution norms (6), information and contract norms (6), product and promotion norms (5), obligation and disclosure norms (4), and general honesty and integrity (4).

Reliability and Validity

Coefficient alpha estimates of internal consistency reliability ranged across the five fac-tors from 0.67 to 0.87. Evidence of validity was provided by correlations with idealism and relativism and with two dimensions of the Ethics Dimension Questionnaire. A series of regression analyses, in which the norm factors served as dependent variables, was argued as providing evidence of nomnlogical validity.
