“…Forgiveness (a = 0.90, M = 3.09, SD = 0.92), blame (a = 0.89, M = 3.8, SD = 0.82) and endorsement potential (a = 0.83, M = 2.87, SD = 0.96) were adapted from Rifon et al (2014) and measured using four-item, five-point Likert scales asking for degree of agreement/disagreement with statements. Forgiveness ("I am sure I could forgive her for her actions," The items for each scale were as follows, "It is likely that I will forgive her/him for her/his actions," "I believe she/he deserves forgiveness for her/his actions" and "It will be easy to forgive her/him for her/his actions"); Blame ("I am sure I could blame her/him for her/his actions," "It is likely that I would blame her/him for her/his actions," "I believe s/he deserves to be blamed for her/his actions" and "It will be easy to blame her/him for her/his actions"); Endorsement potential ("I cannot believe anyone would buy a product because she/he endorsed it," "If s/he endorsed a product, people might not buy it," "She/he would be a good choice for a product endorser and "She/he would be a terrible choice to endorse a product").…”
