What it measures

A five-item sentence-completion scale measuring the degree to which a consumer engages in perspective-taking toward a service provider — actively considering what it is like to be in the provider's position, understanding their feelings and personality, and contemplating the impact of the consumer-provider interaction on the provider's wellbeing. Items complete a stem identifying the service provider type. Developed for research on sharing economy platforms.
