The tendency for a consumer "to buy spontaneously, unreflectively, immediately, and kinetically" (Rook and Fisher 1995, p. 306) is measured in this scale using nine, five-point Likert-type items. The construct is viewed as a consumer trait that may produce frequent motivations to buy, even though they are not always acted on.
The scale is composed of eight, six-point Likert-type items that are intended to measure a consumer lifestyle trait characterized by the tendency to be both restrained in acquiring products as well as resourceful in using them.
