I really appreciate your marketing scales database online. It is an important resource for both our students and our researchers as well. Since my copies of the original books are slowly disintegrating due to the intensive use, I am happy that you are making them available in this way. It is very helpful in the search for viable constructs on which to do sound scientific research.

The scale has four, seven-point Likert-type items that measure how important and fun shopping is to a person, in general.
With reference to a particular shopping trip and store, three, seven-point Likert-type items measure the extent to which a consumer left without making a purchase.
Leaving an area within a store or the store itself without buying the product of interest is measured with six, seven-point semantic differentials. Two versions of the scale are described. Temporary abandonment has to do with the shopper's intention to return later in the shopping trip to make the purchase while Permanent Abandonment means the shopper does not plan to return to buy the product.
How much a consumer indicates that the purpose of a particular shopping trip was to look for new ideas and products is measured with three, seven-point items.
The extent to which a guest at a particular hotel plans to engage in behaviors that conserve resources, especially electricity, is measured with five, nine-point Likert-type items.
A person’s tendency to not only express his/her concern for the environment via product-related decisions but also by engaging in other pro-environmental activities is measured with ten, seven-point items.
The scale is composed of four, seven-point items that measure the likelihood that a person will donate a product of his/hers that is not used anymore but could still be useful to someone else.
How much a person attentively watched a television program and considered it to be fascinating is measured in the scale with three, seven-point Likert-type items.
Using three, seven-point Likert-type items, the scale measures the extent to which a customer decides in a store to switch from accomplishing the intended goal to working on one or more other goals. The goals themselves are not defined in the items themselves. Further, the items do not specific whether the behavior is limited to a specific shopping trip or frequently occurs across stores and time.
Three items are used to measure a person’s motivation to look for and gather items he/she owns that are not used anymore and could be donated. The scale seems to make most sense to use when there has been an appeal of some sort that asked potential donors to think about things of theirs that could be given away.
