Have 10 minutes? Help me out...

[zahner]

Hi everyone
I am conducting a research experiment on consumer preference for my master’s thesis. I need a bunch of people to complete the experiment, so I am posting the link here. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. You will be presented with a consumer choice situation and asked to make a selection.

The survey is located here: http://home.netcom.com/~zahner/5058/mlweb_start.html

If you have some spare time I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Dude...that's alot of camera info presented in a difficult to decide on format.

I might still do it, but I'll have to pull out paper and make notes to order it all the way I'd like it. It's just too much info to pull in.

Also, is this a video or a still camera?

Agreed. Do you have an advisor that approved that "survey" format? The information should be always viewable and probably arranged in some sort of order like price that will help in making a decision.

Hi and thanks for taking the time to check it out.
It concerns still cameras only. I appreciate your concerns regarding the format and complexity of the task; it is set up this way to explore a specific theory.

I didn't like the format of the first page, but I think I know where and why you were going with that. Good luck let us know how it turns out.

I hope the theory is "response rate is inversely related to complexity of survey instrument" or perhaps "respondent fatigue impacts completion rate of surveys."



I also hope you are considering sequence bias in your analysis of the results, as well as the respondent bias inherent in using a web based instrument.

Thanks for the comments and to everyone who participated! Much appreciated

if any other SB folks want to complete the survey; check out the first post in this thread. The link will be up for another day or so. Pls note that there are 3 pages to the survey.

Thanks again

No problem; took me about 5 minutes. Will you post the results?

I did it but man is that format confusing..

Did the experiment. I figured the way the information was displayed on the first page was part of the experiment. I Found that I just looked for the things I wanted in the camera I currently have, and the camera that was closest to those specs won it.

Anyway, hope you get what you are hoping to.
