What it measures

Three items measure the extent to which a consumer wants, considers useful, and would be happy with more precise information about a product. Lembregts and Pandelaere (2019) used the scale in Study 4 with 400 MTurk participants, in a scenario where participants imagined wanting a forthcoming product and a salesperson offered to seek more specific information from the manufacturer.

Response format

10-point (1=not at all, 10=very much)

Usage notes & scoring

The 10-point format is relatively unusual. Blanks may optionally specify the type of information desired (e.g., 'this more precise release date information'); alternatively, blanks and the word 'this' can be omitted for a simpler generic version. Validity was not discussed.
