Anger (Consumer)
8 items 2011 α 0.88–0.90 Free Gelbrich, K.

What it measures

An eight-item scale capturing the intensity of consumer anger, with items spanning both high-arousal indignant anger and lower-arousal expressions of dissatisfaction and betrayal. The first three items are phrased as first-person emotional state descriptors, while the remaining five are single-word emotion labels rated on a describes poorly/describes well continuum. Developed in a price fairness context, the scale is sensitive to the moral dimension of anger (outrage, indignation) that emerges when consumers perceive unjust treatment.
