What it measures

Measures the degree to which a consumer perceives an advertisement as visually alive, lively, and energetic. Importantly, this is a descriptive judgment about the ad's visual qualities rather than an affective response to it — distinguishing it from related feeling-based measures. Used in research on kinetic advertising properties where visual liveliness was proposed as a mediating impression between kinetic motion and consumer novelty perceptions.

Response format

7-point Likert-type (strongly disagree to strongly agree)

Usage notes & scoring

Source not stated by Kim and Lakshmanan (2015). Items coincide with those from Edell and Burke's (1987) ad feelings scale, but the construct here is a descriptive evaluation of the ad's visual character, not an affective reaction to it. Validity not discussed. Central to Kim and Lakshmanan's (2015) process model: kinetic property generates impressions of visual liveliness, which leads to inferences of product atypicality and higher novelty judgments. Companion scales from the same paper: AAAS (ID 587), AVAS (ID 592), AIS (ID 594).
