Douglas Coupland's book, Generation X, was used as the basis for developing a scale measuring attitudes associated with a generation of people currently in their mid-20s (i.e., Generation X). Although much anecdotal evidence has been presented about this group, published research has not addressed measures of their attitudes. The scale reported here measures both young and old people's attitudes toward older members of society, parents, jobs, and shopping. Instrument development involved three phases, and confirmatory factor analysis was employed to evaluate model fit.
