L'objectif de cette recherche est de valider puis de comparer deux échelles de mesure du leadership d'opinion, afin de proposer un instrument de mesure présentant des qualités psychométriques satisfaisantes. La conclusion de l'étude est que les deux échelles retenues ont une bonne fiabilité et une bonne validité mais qu'elles appréhendent le construit à deux niveaux complémentaires, la première le mesurant globalement, la deuxième permettant d'analyser plus finement le leadership d'opinion à travers deux dimensions, ce qui semble conforme à la tendance de la littérature actuelle.
