Indicator	Scale	Context	Theory/Model	Reference(s)
If I wanted to, I could become skillful at comparing and evaluating products on this website.	Scale 1 to 7, Strongly Disagree to Agree	e-Commerce	TPB	(Pavlou & Fygenson, 2006)

Becoming skillful would make it (much more difficult/easier) for me to get information about this product.	Scale 1 to 7, Much More Difficult to Easier	e-Commerce	TPB	(Pavlou & Fygenson, 2006)

If I wanted to, I could easily become knowledgeable about getting all relevant information about products from this website.	Scale 1 to 7, Strongly Disagree to Agree	e-Commerce	TPB	(Pavlou & Fygenson, 2006)

Becoming knowledgeable about getting information would make it (much more difficult/easier) for me to get all relevant information about this product from this Web vendor.	Scale 1 to 7, Much More Difficult to Easier	e-Commerce	TPB	(Pavlou & Fygenson, 2006)
