Perceived Ad Personalization Scale

PAPSConsumer Recognition of Advertising Personalisation
4 items 2005 α .90–.93 Free Dijkstra, A.

What it measures

Measures the degree to which a consumer recognises that an advertisement was deliberately tailored to their personal situation. Importantly, this scale captures perceived personalisation — whether the consumer noticed and acknowledged the ad was personalised for them — rather than their attitude toward or evaluation of that personalisation. Originally developed to assess whether smokers perceived anti-smoking health information as tailored, then adapted by Aguirre et al. (2015) for use with personalised online advertising.
