“…Since the publication of MS (Schwartz et al, 2002), the scale has been shortened (Nenkov et al, 2008) and modified (Lai, 2010;Weinhardt, Morse, Chimeli & Fisher, 2012), and new scales to measure maximization have been developed (Diab et al, 2008;Misuraca, Faraci, Gangemi, Carmeci & Miceli, 2015;Turner et al, 2012). See Cheek and Schwartz (2016) for a list and discussion of the existing maximization scales. Some authors, notably Diab, Gillespie, and Highhouse (2008) and Giacopelli, Simpson, Dalal, Randolph, and Holland (2013) note that various measures of maximizing yield different correlations with indices of well-being, indicating that the scale selection is likely to influence the results observed in a study.…”
