What it measures

A three-item scale measuring the psychological bond between a consumer and a specific personal possession — the sense that the item expresses something about who they are, holds sentimental significance, and carries personal meaning. The scale captures the symbolic and emotional dimensions of object attachment, making it applicable to research on mortality salience, legacy giving, and consumer-object relationships.
