The Marketing Scales website is a gold mine of information. It is the only source that helps me understand the psychometric quality of the instruments used in past research. I recommend that researchers bookmark this site . . . they will be back!

The degree to which a person believes the information presented or described in an advertisement could actually happen in real life is measured with three items.
With three, seven-point semantic differentials, the scale measures the novelty and interestingness of a sponsorship being promoted in an advertisement by a sponsoring entity for something such as an event, an organization, or a cause.
The scale uses three, seven-point items to measure a consumer’s belief that a particular food product featured in an advertisement is likely to have genetically modified ingredients. (GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms.)
How effective a person believes a particular anti-smoking message to be in terms of changing attitudes and behaviors is measured with three items.
The scale is composed of three, five-point semantic differentials that measure the degree to which a person considers a particular slogan to be positive and valuable.
Five, seven-point items measure the degree to which an advertisement caused a person to think of happy events in his/her own life.
Six, seven-point Likert-type items are used to measure how well organized and easy to understand an ad is which a person has seen.
With three, seven-point Likert-type items, the scale measures the degree to which a person believes that a particular advertisement has been aimed at him/her due to some behavior or characteristic inferred by the advertiser.
The scale has five, seven-point Likert-type items that measure the degree to which a person believes a particular advertisement contains elements that are novel or unusual and yet artistically arranged.
Using three, six-point Likert-type items, the scale measures a person’s familiarity and proficiency with the language used in a particular advertisement.
