What it measures

Four nine-point items measure the perceived variety in a product assortment and the enjoyment expected from that variety. The first three items use agree/disagree anchors and tap hedonic variety value, preferred option availability, and variety of consumption modes. The fourth uses quantity-of-variety anchors and directly assesses perceived variety level. The scale was used in a study examining how assortment structure affects perceived variety and consumption.
