Measures the degree to which a person believes a particular food portion is appropriately sized to deliver a pleasurable sensory experience — enough to enjoy and savour the food's taste without being too small or too large. Used in Study 3 (n = 100 MTurk participants) where portions were communicated via photographs. Developed for research on how multisensory imagery can increase satisfaction with smaller food portions. The food name should be inserted in the blanks of items 2 and 3.
9-point (1=not at all, 9=absolutely)
Full scale items shown. Always cite the original source when using this scale in research.
Response anchors: not at all (1) to absolutely (9). Instructions directed participants to rate how much a portion was 'just right' for sensory pleasure, with higher ratings if the size was just right and lower ratings if it was too small or too large. Insert food name in blanks of items 2 and 3 (e.g., 'cake'). Scale appears original to the authors.
