A different instrument was used for the hotel guests and social workers’ clients, respectively. Guests and clients were asked for basic demographic data (e.g., age, sex, education). Hotel guests and the social workers’ clients evaluated their satisfaction with the receptionists’ or the social workers’ responses using a scale from one to five (from very bad to excellent). The instrument was a single item scale. This form of scale has proven to be very practical and a sufficiently reliable measuring instrument in situations that measure emotional responses to a situation (Russell et al., 1989), as is the case here. A number of authors in research of this type have confirmed the usability, reliability and cost- effectiveness of this type of scale
