A conceptual model for "cumulative" scaling is set forth in terms of "dimensions," "reference points," and "response systems." On the basis of the model, criteria are suggested for assessing the validity, internal consistency, and reliability of scales. It is argued that "scaling" covers a range of research problems and that combinations of specific criteria provide more straightforward answers than a single coefficient of "scalability"
