What it measures

Measures how compelling, interesting, and attention-capturing a consumer finds the image of a particular celebrity. Importantly, the scale targets the salience and draw of the image rather than its favourability — making it distinct from celebrity attitude or likeability measures. Originally used in a simulated retail environment where a celebrity poster was placed adjacent to product displays, with attention to the image treated as a potential pathway for emotional contagion effects on unrelated product evaluations.
