The four items included in hedonic shopping motivation
online were (1) respondents enjoyed being immersed in
exciting new products; (2) respondents enjoyed this shopping
trip for its own sake; (3) respondents continued to shop; and
(4) respondents had good time acting on the ‘spur of the
moment’. The construct reliability for these items was computed
to be 0.86, above the recommended value of 0.70 or
higher. In addition, the coefficient alpha value was 0.85, above
the threshold value of 0.70 that Nunnally (1978) recommends.
Moreover, the average variance extracted value was 0.60. It
reflects the average communality for each latent factor and is
used to establish convergent validity. The average variance
extracted value is above the threshold value of 0.50 (Fornell
and Larcker, 1981; Chin, 1998; Höck and Ringle, 2006)
