Design
This study is a pseudo-experiment. There's nocontrol group, instead a comparison is made between before and after advertising exposure using the same sample of 60. By subtracting pre-ad exposure from post-ad exposure the change score was calculated. Movement on the constant-sum scale was used to discern differences in brand preferences. The respondents either moved up, down, or stayed the same from pre/post ad exposure.
Sampling
For this assignment, a non-random convenience sample was utilized due to time. A sample of 60 individuals was found to be a sufficient sample size to confidently conduct certain probability techniques and statistical tests. This sample size also allows for enough representation so that if statistical significance is found, the results can be projected to the entire population. The survey was sent via internet to relatives, friends and acquaintances.
Data Collection
All the data was collected in a period of two weeks. Seventy two individuals attempted to complete the questionnaire. Twelve participants did not fill out the survey correctly, so only 60 respondents were statistically studied. After respondents submitted, their answers were stored in an Access database, linked via a ColdFusion file. The data received was exported into a SPSS file, in order to perform various statistical analyses.
