Definition of Projective Techniques
An unstructured, indirect form of questioning that encourages respondents to project their underlying motivations, beliefs, attitudes or feelings regarding the issues of concern. In projective techniques, respondents are asked to interpret the behavior of others. In interpreting the behavior of others, respondents indirectly project their own motivations, beliefs, attitudes, or feelings into the situation.
![Page 12: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
4-12
Word AssociationIn word association, respondents are presented with a list of words, one at a time and asked to respond to each with the first word that comes to mind. The words of interest, called test words, are interspersed throughout the list which also contains some neutral, or filler words to disguise the purpose of the study. Responses are analyzed by calculating:
(1) the frequency with which any word is given as a response; (2) the amount of time that elapses before a response is given; and (3) the number of respondents who do not respond at all to a test word within a reasonable period of time.
![Page 13: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4-13
Completion Techniques
In Sentence completion, respondents are given incomplete sentences and asked to complete them. Generally, they are asked to use the first word or phrase that comes to mind.
A person who shops at Sears is ______________________
A person who receives a gift certificate good for Sak's Fifth Avenue would be __________________________________
J. C. Penney is most liked by _________________________
When I think of shopping in a department store, I ________
A variation of sentence completion is paragraph completion, in which the respondent completes a paragraph beginning with the stimulus phrase.

4-14
Completion Techniques
In story completion, respondents are given part of a story – enough to direct attention to a particular topic but not to hint at the ending. They are required to give the conclusion in their own words.
![Page 15: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4-15
Construction Techniques
With a picture response, the respondents are asked to describe a series of pictures of ordinary as well as unusual events. The respondent's interpretation of the pictures gives indications of that individual's personality.
In cartoon tests, cartoon characters are shown in a specific situation related to the problem. The respondents are asked to indicate what one cartoon character might say in response to the comments of another character. Cartoon tests are simpler to administer and analyze than picture response techniques.

4-17
Expressive Techniques
In expressive techniques, respondents are presented with a verbal or visual situation and asked to relate the feelings and attitudes of other people to the situation.
Role playing Respondents are asked to play the role or assume the behavior of someone else.
Third-person technique The respondent is presented with a verbal or visual situation and the respondent is asked to relate the beliefs and attitudes of a third person rather than directly expressing personal beliefs and attitudes. This third person may be a friend, neighbor, colleague, or a “typical” person.

4-18
Advantages of Projective Techniques
They may elicit responses that subjects would be unwilling or unable to give if they knew the purpose of the study.
Helpful when the issues to be addressed are personal, sensitive, or subject to strong social norms.
Helpful when underlying motivations, beliefs, and attitudes are operating at a subconscious level.

4-20Observation Methods Structured versus Unstructured Observation
For structured observation, the researcher specifies in detail what is to be observed and how the measurements are to be recorded, e.g., an auditor performing inventory analysis in a store.
In unstructured observation, the observer monitors all aspects of the phenomenon that seem relevant to the problem at hand, e.g., observing children playing with new toys.
![Page 21: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4-21Observation Methods Disguised versus Undisguised Observation
In disguised observation, the respondents are unaware that they are being observed. Disguise may be accomplished by using one-way mirrors, hidden cameras, or inconspicuous mechanical devices. Observers may be disguised as shoppers or sales clerks.
In undisguised observation, the respondents are aware that they are under observation.
![Page 22: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4-22Observation Methods Natural versus Contrived Observation
Natural observation involves observing behavior as it takes places in the environment. For example, one could observe the behavior of respondents eating fast food in Burger King.
In contrived observation, respondents' behavior is observed in an artificial environment, such as a test kitchen.

Concept of Causality
A statement such as "X causes Y " will have thefollowing meaning to an ordinary person and to ascientist.
____________________________________________________Ordinary Meaning Scientific Meaning
____________________________________________________X is the only cause of Y. X is only one of a number of
possible causes of Y.
X must always lead to Y The occurrence of X makes the (X is a deterministic occurrence of Y more probablecause of Y). (X is a probabilistic cause of Y).
It is possible to prove We can never prove that X is athat X is a cause of Y. cause of Y. At best, we can
infer that X is a cause of Y.

4-25
Definitions and Concepts
Independent variables are variables or alternatives that are manipulated and whose effects are measured and compared, e.g., price levels. Test units are individuals, organizations, or other entities whose response to the independent variables or treatments is being examined, e.g., consumers or stores. Dependent variables are the variables which measure the effect of the independent variables on the test units, e.g., sales, profits, and market shares. Extraneous variables are all variables other than the independent variables that affect the response of the test units, e.g., store size, store location, and competitive effort.
![Page 26: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
4-26
Experimental Design
An experimental design is a set of procedures specifying
the test units and how these units are to be divided into homogeneous subsamples, what independent variables or treatments are to be manipulated, what dependent variables are to be measured, and how the extraneous variables are to be controlled.
![Page 27: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
4-27
Validity in Experimentation
Internal validity refers to whether the manipulation of the independent variables or treatments actually caused the observed effects on the dependent variables. Control of extraneous variables is a necessary condition for establishing internal validity.External validity refers to whether the cause-and-effect relationships found in the experiment can be generalized. To what populations, settings, times, independent variables and dependent variables can the results be projected?
![Page 28: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
4-28
Controlling Extraneous Variables
Randomization refers to the random assignment of test units to experimental groups by using random numbers. Treatment conditions are also randomly assigned to experimental groups.Matching involves comparing test units on a set of key background variables before assigning them to the treatment conditions. Statistical control involves measuring the extraneous variables and adjusting for their effects through statistical analysis.Design control involves the use of experiments designed to control specific extraneous variables.

Factorial Design
Is used to measure the effects of two or more independent variables at various levels. A factorial design may also be conceptualized as a table. In a two-factor design, each level of one variable represents a row and each level of another variable represents a column.

Criteria for the Selection of Test Markets
Test Markets should have the following qualities:1) Be large enough to produce meaningful projections. They
should contain at least 2% of the potential actual population.2) Be representative demographically.3) Be representative with respect to product consumption behavior.4) Be representative with respect to media usage.5) Be representative with respect to competition.6) Be relatively isolated in terms of media and physical distribution.7) Have normal historical development in the product class8) Have marketing research and auditing services available9) Not be over-tested

4-33
Measurement and Scaling
Measurement means assigning numbers or other symbols to characteristics of objects according to certain prespecified rules.
One-to-one correspondence between the numbers and the characteristics being measured. The rules for assigning numbers should be standardized and applied uniformly. Rules must not change over objects or time.
![Page 34: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
4-34
Measurement and Scaling
Scaling involves creating a continuum upon which measured objects are located.
Consider an attitude scale from 1 to 100. Each respondent is assigned a number from 1 to 100, with 1 = Extremely Unfavorable, and 100 = Extremely Favorable. Measurement is the actual assignment of a number from 1 to 100 to each respondent. Scaling is the process of placing the respondents on a continuum with respect to their attitude toward department stores.

A Comparison of Scaling Techniques
Comparative scales involve the direct comparison of stimulus objects. Comparative scale data must be interpreted in relative terms and have only ordinal or rank order properties.
In noncomparative scales, each object is scaled independently of the others in the stimulus set. The resulting data are generally assumed to be interval or ratio scaled.

4-40
Noncomparative Scaling Techniques
Respondents evaluate only one object at a time, and for this reason noncomparative scales are often referred to as monadic scales. Noncomparative techniques consist of continuous and itemized rating scales.
![Page 41: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
4-41
Likert ScaleThe Likert scale requires the respondents to indicate a degree of agreement ordisagreement with each of a series of statements about the stimulus objects.
Strongly Disagree Neither Agree Strongly disagree agree nor agree
disagree
1. Sears sells high quality merchandise. 1 2X 3 4 5
2. Sears has poor in-store service. 1 2X 3 4 5
3. I like to shop at Sears. 1 2 3X 4 5
The analysis can be conducted on an item-by-item basis (profile analysis), or a total (summated) score can be calculated.
When arriving at a total score, the categories assigned to the negative statements by the respondents should be scored by reversing the scale.
![Page 42: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
4-42
Semantic Differential ScaleThe semantic differential is a seven-point rating scale with end points associated with bipolar labels that have semantic meaning.
SEARS IS:Powerful --:--:--:--:-X-:--:--: WeakUnreliable --:--:--:--:--:-X-:--: ReliableModern --:--:--:--:--:--:-X-: Old-fashioned
The negative adjective or phrase sometimes appears at the left side of the scale and sometimes at the right. This controls the tendency of some respondents, particularly those with very positive or very negative attitudes, to mark theright- or left-hand sides without reading the labels. Individual items on a semantic differential scale may be scored on either a -3 to +3 or a 1 to 7 scale.

Validity
Construct validity addresses the question of what construct or characteristic the scale is, in fact, measuring. Construct validity includes convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity.Convergent validity is the extent to which the scale correlates positively with other measures of the same construct. Discriminant validity is the extent to which a measure does not correlate with other constructs from which it is supposed to differ.Nomological validity is the extent to which the scale correlates in theoretically predicted ways with measures of different but related constructs.

4-50Choosing Question Structure Structured Questions
Structured questions specify the set of response alternatives and the response format. A structured question may be multiple-choice, dichotomous, or a scale.
![Page 51: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
4-51Choosing Question Structure Multiple-Choice Questions
In multiple-choice questions, the researcher provides a choice of answers and respondents are asked to select one or more of the alternatives given.
Do you intend to buy a new car within the next six months?____ Definitely will not buy____ Probably will not buy____ Undecided____ Probably will buy____ Definitely will buy____ Other (please specify)
![Page 52: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
4-52Choosing Question Structure Dichotomous Questions
A dichotomous question has only two response alternatives: yes or no, agree or disagree, and so on. Often, the two alternatives of interest are supplemented by a neutral alternative, such as “no opinion,” “don't know,” “both,” or “none.”
Do you intend to buy a new car within the next six months?
_____ Yes _____ No _____ Don't know

4-56
Pretesting
Pretesting refers to the testing of the questionnaire on a small sample of respondents to identify and eliminate potential problems.
A questionnaire should not be used in the field survey without adequate pretesting. All aspects of the questionnaire should be tested, including question content, wording, sequence, form and layout, question difficulty, and instructions. The respondents for the pretest and for the actual survey should be drawn from the same population. Pretests are best done by personal interviews, even if the actual survey is to be conducted by mail, telephone, or electronic means, because interviewers can observe respondents' reactions and attitudes.

Define the Target Population
The target population is the collection of elements or objects that possess the information sought by the researcher and about which inferences are to be made. The target population should be defined in terms of elements, sampling units, extent, and time.
An element is the object about which or from which the information is desired, e.g., the respondent. A sampling unit is an element, or a unit containing the element, that is available for selection at some stage of the sampling process. Extent refers to the geographical boundaries.Time is the time period under consideration.

Frequency Distribution
In a frequency distribution, one variable is considered at a time. A frequency distribution for a variable produces a table of frequency counts, percentages, and cumulative percentages for all the values associated with that variable.
![Page 69: Marketing Research 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5528a9d84a7959bf448b47df/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

The mean, or average value, is the most commonly used measure of central tendency. The mean, ,is given by
Where,Xi = Observed values of the variable Xn = Number of observations (sample size)
The mode is the value that occurs most frequently. It represents the highest peak of the distribution. The mode is a good measure of location when the variable is inherently categorical or has otherwise been grouped into categories.

The median of a sample is the middle value when the data are arranged in ascending or descending order. If the number of data points is even, the median is usually estimated as the midpoint between the two middle values – by adding the two middle values and dividing their sum by 2. The median is the 50th percentile.

The range measures the spread of the data. It is simply the difference between the largest and smallest values in the sample. Range = Xlargest –Xsmallest.
The interquartile range is the difference between the 75th and 25th percentile. For a set of data points arranged in order of magnitude, the pth
percentile is the value that has p% of the data points below it and (100 - p)% above it.

The variance is the mean squared deviation from the mean. The variance can never be negative. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
The coefficient of variation is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean expressed as a percentage, and is a unitless measure of relative variability.

Skewness. The tendency of the deviations from the mean to be larger in one direction than in the other. It can be thought of as the tendency for one tail of the distribution to be heavier than the other.
Kurtosis is a measure of the relative peakedness or flatness of the curve defined by the frequency distribution. The kurtosis of a normal distribution is zero. If the kurtosis is positive, then the distribution is more peaked than a normal distribution. A negative value means that the distribution is flatter than a normal distribution.

Cross-Tabulation
While a frequency distribution describes one variable at a time, a cross-tabulation describes two or more variables simultaneously. Cross-tabulation results in tables that reflect the joint distribution of two or more variables with a limited number of categories or distinct values, e.g., Table 15.3.

Asymmetric lambda measures the percentage improvement in predicting the value of the dependent variable, given the value of the independent variable. Lambda also varies between 0 and 1. A value of 0 means no improvement in prediction. A value of 1 indicates that the prediction can be made without error. This happens when each independent variable category is associated with a single category of the dependent variable.Asymmetric lambda is computed for each of the variables (treating it as the dependent variable). A symmetric lambda is also computed, which is a kind of average of the two asymmetric values. The symmetric lambda does not make an assumption about which variable is dependent. It measures the overall improvement when prediction is done in both directions.

Non-Parametric Tests
Nonparametric tests are used when the independent variables are nonmetric. Like parametric tests, nonparametric tests are available for testing variables from one sample, two independent samples, or two related samples.

Sometimes the researcher wants to test whether theobservations for a particular variable could reasonablyhave come from a particular distribution, such as thenormal, uniform, or Poisson distribution.
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) one-sample testis one such goodness-of-fit test. The K-S compares thecumulative distribution function for a variable with aspecified distribution. Ai denotes the cumulativerelative frequency for each category of the theoretical(assumed) distribution, and Oi the comparable value ofthe sample frequency. The K-S test is based on themaximum value of the absolute difference between Aiand Oi . The test statistic is

The chi-square test can also be performed on a single variable from one sample. In this context, the chi-square serves as a goodness-of-fit test. The runs test is a test of randomness for the dichotomous variables. This test is conducted by determining whether the order or sequence in which observations are obtained is random. The binomial test is also a goodness-of-fit test for dichotomous variables. It tests the goodness of fit of the observed number of observations in each category to the number expected under a specified binomial distribution.

When the difference in the location of two populations is to be compared based on observations from two independent samples, and the variable is measured on an ordinal scale, the Mann-Whitney U test can be used. In the Mann-Whitney U test, the two samples are combined and the cases are ranked in order of increasing size. The test statistic, U, is computed as the number of times a score from sample or group 1 precedes a score from group 2. If the samples are from the same population, the distribution ofscores from the two groups in the rank list should be random. An extreme value of U would indicate a nonrandom pattern, pointing to the inequality of the two groups. For samples of less than 30, the exact significance level for U is computed. For larger samples, U is transformed into a normally distributed z statistic. This z can be corrected for ties within ranks.

The main program in SPSS is FREQUENCIES. It produces a table of frequency counts, percentages, and cumulative percentages for the values of each variable. It gives all of the associated statistics. If the data are interval scaled and only the summary statistics are desired, the DESCRIPTIVES procedure can be used. The EXPLORE procedure produces summary statistics and graphical displays, either for all of the cases or separately for groups of cases. Mean, median, variance, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and range are some of the statistics that can be calculated.

Product Moment Correlation
The product moment correlation, r, summarizes the strength of association between two metric (interval or ratio scaled) variables, say X and Y. It is an index used to determine whether a linear or straight-line relationship exists between X and Y. As it was originally proposed by Karl Pearson, it is also known as the Pearson correlation coefficient. It is also referred to as simple correlation, bivariate correlation, or merely the correlation coefficient.

MulticollinearityMulticollinearity arises when intercorrelations among the predictors are very high. Multicollinearity can result in several problems, including:
The partial regression coefficients may not be estimated precisely. The standard errors are likely to be high.The magnitudes as well as the signs of the partial regression coefficients may change from sample to sample.It becomes difficult to assess the relative importance of the independent variables in explaining the variation in the dependent variable. Predictor variables may be incorrectly included or removed in stepwise regression.

Discriminant AnalysisDiscriminant analysis is a technique for analyzing data when the criterion or dependent variable is categorical and the predictor or independent variables are interval in nature.
The objectives of discriminant analysis are as follows:Development of discriminant functions, or linear combinations of the predictor or independent variables, which will best discriminate between the categories of the criterion or dependent variable (groups).Examination of whether significant differences exist among the groups, in terms of the predictor variables.Determination of which predictor variables contribute to most of the intergroup differences.Classification of cases to one of the groups based on the values of the predictor variables.Evaluation of the accuracy of classification.

Canonical correlation. Canonical correlation measures the extent of association between the discriminant scores and the groups. It is a measure of association between the single discriminant function and the set of dummy variables that define the group membership.Centroid. The centroid is the mean values for the discriminant scores for a particular group. There are as many centroids as there are groups, as there is one for each group. The means for a group on all the functions are the group centroids. Classification matrix. Sometimes also called confusion or prediction matrix, the classification matrix contains the number of correctly classified and misclassified cases.

Discriminant function coefficients. The discriminant function coefficients (unstandardized) are the multipliers of variables, when the variables are in the original units of measurement. Discriminant scores. The unstandardized coefficients are multiplied by the values of the variables. These products are summed and added to the constant term to obtain the discriminant scores.Eigenvalue. For each discriminant function, the Eigenvalue is the ratio of between-group to within-group sums of squares. Large Eigenvalues imply superior functions.

Factor AnalysisFactor analysis is a general name denoting a class of procedures primarily used for data reduction and summarization. Factor analysis is an interdependence technique in that an entire set of interdependent relationships is examined without making the distinction between dependent and independent variables.Factor analysis is used in the following circumstances:
To identify underlying dimensions, or factors, that explain the correlations among a set of variables. To identify a new, smaller, set of uncorrelated variables to replace the original set of correlated variables in subsequent multivariate analysis (regression or discriminant analysis). To identify a smaller set of salient variables from a larger setfor use in subsequent multivariate analysis.

It is possible to select weights or factor score coefficients so that the first factor explains the largest portion of the total variance. Then a second set of weights can be selected, so that the second factor accounts for most of the residual variance, subject to being uncorrelated with the first factor. This same principle could be applied to selecting additional weights for the additional factors.

A Priori Determination. Sometimes, because of prior knowledge, the researcher knows how many factors to expect and thus can specify the number of factors to be extracted beforehand.
Determination Based on Eigenvalues. In this approach, only factors with Eigenvalues greater than 1.0 are retained. An Eigenvalue represents the amount of variance associated with the factor. Hence, only factors with a variance greater than 1.0 are included. Factors with variance less than 1.0 are no better than a single variable, since, due to standardization, each variable has a variance of 1.0. If the number of variables is less than 20, this approach will result in a conservative number of factors.

Cluster Analysis
Cluster analysis is a class of techniques used to classify objects or cases into relatively homogeneous groups called clusters. Objects in each cluster tend to be similar to each other and dissimilar to objects in the other clusters. Cluster analysis is also called classification analysis, or numerical taxonomy. Both cluster analysis and discriminant analysis are concerned with classification. However, discriminant analysis requires prior knowledge of the cluster or group membership for each object or case included, to develop the classification rule. In contrast, in cluster analysis there is no a priori information about the group or cluster membership for any of the objects. Groups or clusters are suggested by the data, not defined a priori.

Hierarchical clustering is characterized by the development of a hierarchy or tree-like structure. Hierarchical methods can be agglomerative or divisive. Agglomerative clustering starts with each object in a separate cluster. Clusters are formed by grouping objects into bigger and bigger clusters. This process is continued until all objects are members of a single cluster. Divisive clustering starts with all the objects grouped in a single cluster. Clusters are divided or split until each object is in a separate cluster. Agglomerative methods are commonly used in marketing research. They consist of linkage methods, error sums of squares or variance methods, and centroid methods.

The single linkage method is based on minimum distance, or the nearest neighbor rule. At every stage, the distance between two clusters is the distance between their two closest points (see Figure 20.5). The complete linkage method is similar to single linkage, except that it is based on the maximum distance or the furthest neighbor approach. In complete linkage, the distance between two clusters is calculated as the distance between their two furthest points. The average linkage method works similarly. However, in this method, the distance between two clusters is defined as the average of the distances between all pairs of objects, where one member of the pair is from each of the clusters (Figure 20.5).
