What it measures

A three-item scale measuring a consumer's perception that they received more in an exchange than the other party or than they fairly deserved — a sense of advantageous inequity or over-benefit relative to the transaction partner. Items contain a blank for the transaction partner (e.g., company, service provider). The scale captures the positive inequity dimension of exchange fairness — distinct from perceptions of under-benefit — and is applicable to research on service recovery overcompensation and consumer guilt.
