Planning and Conducting Experimental Advertising Research and Questionnaire Design

摘要

We give an overview of the most important decisions to be taken when planning and conducting experimental advertising research. Based on previous research and state-of-the-art academic insights, we discuss good methodological practices with respect to fleshing out the contribution of a study, developing and testing experimental stimuli, selecting appropriate samples, collecting data, designing questionnaires, deciding which variables and measures to include, and determining scale measurement. This set of guidelines should enable experimental advertising researchers to optimize their study designs and to carry them out in a correct way.
