The Marketing Scales website is a gold mine of information.  It is the only source that helps me understand the psychometric quality of the instruments used in past research.  I recommend that researchers bookmark this site . . . they will be back!

difficulty

The complexity of a certain task is measured in this scale with three, seven-point bi-polar adjectives.  The task that was evaluated in the study by Sprott, Czellar, and Spangenberg (2009) was a survey (how complicated it was to answer).

The scale is composed of three, seven-point Likert-type items intended to measure the ease with which a person reports being able to order and pay for products at a particular website.

The ease with which a person reports being able to get around a website and find what is wanted is measured using four, seven-point Likert-type items.

Using four, seven-point items, this scale measures a consumer's ability to explain the reasons why a particular brand or type of product is preferred.

The perceived difficulty a person has had in processing a message (e.g., advertisement, instructions, request) is measured in this scale using three, seven-point semantic differentials.  The scale was called fluency by White and Peloza (2009)

This three item, seven-point scale measures a consumer's ease of making purchases within a product category because of his/her established, prepurchase preference.

Five, seven-point semantic differentials are used to measure the degree to which a stimulus (or task) requires a person to devote high level of cognitive effort to process (or complete).

A three-item, nine-point summated ratings scale is used to measure a person's perception of the relative difficulty involved in making a choice decision using an electronic decision aid versus a choice made with the same information printed on paper but with the brands listed in random order.

Four statements with a seven-point Likert-type response format are used in this scale to measure the degree to which a person reports being uneasy with the use and understanding of technology.

Seven, seven-point Likert-type items are used to measure the degree of interactivity a person believes there to be in a particular computerized interface such as the type used in self-service contexts for monetary transactions, self-help, or customer service.
