What it measures

Three semantic differential items measure how fun, enjoyable, and entertaining a consumer finds a particular web page. Bleier, Harmeling, and Palmatier (2019) adapted the scale from Hausman and Siekpe (2009) and employed it in Study 1 across data from 10,470 MTurk participants. CFA confirmed the scale's convergent and discriminant validity, with an AVE of .83 and composite reliability of .94.

Usage notes & scoring

A potential concern with the X/not-X semantic differential format is that it may not fully capture the construct's variance — true semantic differentials use opposing adjective pairs rather than a word and its negation. The number of response scale points was not stated in the original article. Two companion scales from the same paper assess webpage informativeness and sensory appeal.
