Study Notes

Experimental Design Overview

  • Experimental design includes independent, dependent, control, and manipulation variables.
  • Independent variables affect the dependent variables; for example, color influences sales and attitudes.
  • Control variables such as shape, size, and customer characteristics help isolate the effect of independent variables.

Importance of Experiments

  • Experiments test new ideas, inform business decisions, gather customer insights, and assess cost-benefit analyses.
  • Insights gained can lead to improved customer satisfaction and product effectiveness.

Types of Experiments

  • Increased behavioral realism can be achieved through field or natural experiments that reflect real-world scenarios.
  • Experiment design can be categorized as between-subjects and within-subjects, affecting data analysis strategies.

Methodological Considerations

  • Sample size and selection are crucial for valid results.
  • Manipulation and attention checks ensure the integrity of the experiment and participant engagement.
  • Randomization helps eliminate bias and enhance the validity of findings.

Manipulation and Attention Checks

  • Manipulation checks evaluate if the intervention achieved its intended effect.
  • Attention checks verify participant awareness and focus during the experiment through various questioning techniques.

Barriers in Experimental Design

  • Challenges include randomization issues, measurement difficulties, return on experimentation, and organizational inertia.

Steps in Conducting Experiments

  • Key steps involve brainstorming ideas, pilot studies, selecting variables, forming a hypothesis, executing the experiment, and analyzing results.

Types of Statistical Tests

  • Two Independent Sample t-tests compare means between different groups.
  • Paired Sample t-tests assess mean differences within the same group under varying conditions.
  • Multivariate tests evaluate multiple variables simultaneously during A/B testing.

ANOVA

  • Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) compares means across multiple groups to identify significant differences.
  • Null hypothesis assumes no difference; the F-statistic is calculated to test this hypothesis.
  • ANOVA applies in marketing for evaluating advertising effectiveness, demographic customer satisfaction, pricing strategies, and packaging designs.

Experimental Analysis Examples

  • One-way ANOVA assesses differences in consumer purchase intent across varying price points.
  • Two-way ANOVA evaluates impacts of two independent variables such as in-store marketing and coupon values on purchasing behavior.

Conceptual Model and Stimuli Development

  • Research considers variables like language (Hindi vs. English) and modality (text vs. audio vs. video) relevant to review credibility.
  • Covariates such as age and language proficiency are controlled to clarify results.
  • Stimuli generation involves creating fictitious webpages and reviews to gauge consumer responses.

Methodology for Participant Selection

  • Sampling techniques like snowball sampling target native speakers and proficient English users.
  • Randomization through programming ensures diverse participant assignments for robust experimental outcomes.

ANCOVA Results

  • ANCOVA was applied to analyze the study's data, revealing significant effects of language and modality interactions on participant responses, with predefined metrics for analysis (df, F, p, η²).
