A Short-Form Measure Of Attitude Towards Using A Mobile Information Service

Abstract

The psychometrical properties are studied of a scale that measures attitudes regarding mobile information services.Starting point is an attitude measure from an earlier research project, in which the HED/UT scale was used to capture hedonic and utilitarian value of an information service.The research design for the new project involved a crosssectional survey, and data was collected using an online survey tool.The psychometric analysis is based on a sample of students and non-students (total N = 125).Based on the analysis, we propose a new, short-form version of the attitude scale.It contains two subscales of five items each, is available in two languages (English and Dutch) and can be used by other researchers for further refinement.
