The degree to which a consumer typically experiences a sense of being in another reality when shopping online is measured with four statements.  As currently phrased, the items are not specific to a particular website but rather to online shopping in general.

With three, nine-point Likert-type items, the scale measures how reliable and believable a consumer believes an online store to be.  Given the phrasing of one of the items, the consumer has purchased a particular product from the store.  To make the scale amenable for use with respondents who may not have purchased from the store, the item can be easily edited.
