Usage notes & scoring

Reliability was strong (α = .91; Nguyen et al. 2023, p. 1316). The item set draws on wording from two separate prior measures of brand/product popularity (van Herpen, Pieters, and Zeelenberg 2009) rather than reusing a single named instrument wholesale, so it is treated as adapted rather than a verbatim lift. Validity was not separately discussed by Nguyen et al. (2023). Named identically to an existing entry (ID 1988, Zhou, Yang, and Hui 2010) which measures a related but differently-sourced popularity construct; this entry is retained under a construct-descriptive name to avoid confusion. The blanks should be filled with the brand or company name; anchors were strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7).
