![]() With the growth of a large urban middle class, other less urgent motivations became possible, and the modern concept of “shopping” was born ( Bowlby, 2001 ). Prior to the late 19th century, most purchases were simple utilitarian efforts to obtain needed items at an affordable price. Stuart Vyse, in Environmental Psychology and Human Well-Being, 2018 Utilitarian and hedonic motivations for shopping The instrument scales were assessed as reliable and valid. The survey instrument was reviewed for content validity by university staff and information systems academics, and was then pilot-tested on 200 consumers who were not included in the main survey. Use was measured as a composite index of variety and frequency of six mobile internet applications. Respondent characteristics captured included age, gender, and experience (in months). These items utilised 7-point scales (‘strongly disagree’ to ‘strongly agree’). The original constructs drew on the previous 2003 UTAUT scales, while the three new constructs adapted scales from other researchers. The survey instrument included several items (three or four statements) for each of the following model constructs: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habit, and behavioural intention.
