Abstract

Accurately measuring customer susceptibility to online shopping experiences plays an increasingly large role in businesses' strategic decisions and academic studies. This study aims to adapt the Online Susceptibility Scale into Turkish and test its validity and reliability in this context. Linguistic and contextual adaptation processes were carefully carried out to make an internationally valid scale usable in the context of Turkish consumers. The scale items were back-translated into Turkish with the opinions of experts, and then the final adapted version of the scale was created by evaluating the linguistic and semantic equivalence. The research data was collected from 257 participants with online shopping experience, and the factor analysis of the scale was analyzed using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The findings indicate that the scale retains its original structure and that the Turkish Online Susceptibility Scale can be used as a reliable and valid instrument to examine online shopping behaviors. The study contributes to the addition of a Turkish scale to the marketing literature and allows for a more in-depth investigation of online shopper behaviors.
