Exploratory researchExploratory research
Initial research conducted to clarify and define the nature of a problem
often a first and preliminary stepmay be a single investigation or a
series of informal studiesmay be a single technique or a
combination of techniquesalmost always qualitative

Quantitative: studies that use mathematical analysis that can reveal statistically significant differences
Qualitative: research data not subject to quantification

assumes that people are reluctant, unaware or unable to relate their true experiences, perceptions or beliefs

Focus Groups DefinedFocus Groups Defined
Focus groups had their beginnings in group therapy used by physicians. Today, a focus group consists of 8 to 12 participants led by
a moderator in an in-depth discussion on one particular topic or concept.
![Page 22: Agenda Exploratory Research –Qualitative vs quantitative –Projective techniques –Focus groups](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649d6b5503460f94a4af6d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Most frequently used to conduct exploratory research
May also be used after a survey or quantitative study to clarify findings– Quantitative research tends to be long
on what and short on why

Focus Group Facility– Facility consisting of conference or
living room setting and a separate observation room. Facility also has audiovisual recording equipment.
– Not all focus groups are conducted in this contrived setting.

Focus Groups: Key TermsFocus Groups: Key Terms
Focus Groups Composition– The ideal size is 6-10 participants.– Homogenous groups seem to work best
Focus Groups Moderator– The person hired by the client to lead
the focus group. This person may need a background in psychology, sociology, or marketing.

Discussion Guide– A written outline of topics to cover
during a focus group discussion.– Contains prefatory remarks to inform
the group about he nature of the focus group and an outline of topics/questions to be addressed

Disadvantages of Focus GroupsDisadvantages of Focus Groups
The immediacy and apparent understandability of focus group findings can mislead instead of inform.
Focus group recruiting is a problem if the type of person recruited responds differently to the issues being discussed than other target segments.
![Page 30: Agenda Exploratory Research –Qualitative vs quantitative –Projective techniques –Focus groups](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649d6b5503460f94a4af6d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“Moderator style” may contribute to respondent bias.
Respondents can be a problem if they are overly introverted (and do not speak) or are overly dominating (and try to sway the discussion). This can also lead to a halo effect

Trends in Focus GroupsTrends in Focus Groups
Telephone Focus Groups– Focus groups that are conducted via
conference calling.Two-Way Focus Groups– A target focus group observes another
focus group, and then discussed what it learned through observing.

Nominal Grouping Session– Qualitative research method in which
