The scale is composed of four, seven-point Likert-type statements intended to measure the degree to which a person believes that using a mobile device for purchases and financial activities (banking, investments) is an efficient use of time compared to other means of doing it.
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.

This five-item, six-point Likert-type scale is used in measuring the degree to which a person describes his/her engagement in an activity as being without coercion or obligation.

This scale has four, nine-point Likert-type items that are intended to measure the degree to which a person believes that during a recent experience he/she was free to express his/her creativity.

The main application of the scale would be to determine the extent to which a customer who has had a bad experience believes a person or organization in charge of a service could have prevented the problem.
Four, seven-point items are used in the scale to measure the degree to which a person believes that a choice he/she has made was free from coercion or pressure to select a particular option. The scale was called self-determination by Mogilner, Rudnick, and Iyengar (2008).
