What it measures

A six-item semantic differential scale measuring the degree to which a consumer attributes a sponsoring organisation's cause-related marketing activity to genuine societal concern and altruistic motives, as opposed to self-serving interests. Items span pure versus impure, unselfish versus selfish, caring versus uncaring, society-serving versus self-serving, involved versus uninvolved, and proactive versus reactive dimensions. A blank in the scale stem requires insertion of the sponsoring organisation's name, enabling application across different CRM contexts.
