Market Research Methods
Choice analytics versus standard rating scales
Standard rating scales provide relatively imprecise and biased data compared to choice analytics such as MaxDiff and CBC. Respondents tend to straightline with ratings scales, leading to less information content. Scale use differences such as positivity bias (yea-saying) also make rating scale data weak for cross-cultural research and correlation analysis.
Choice questions yield more accurate and unbiased data because they ask respondents to choose among products or items being shown to them. Respondents cannot say that all products are equally desirable and there is no rating scale to lead to scale-use bias.
What is conjoint analysis?
Conjoint analysis is a realistic questioning approach that mimics how buyers shop in the real world. We show respondents multiple products described by varying characteristics (often involving price) and observe their choices. When respondents have to make hard choices in the conjoint questionnaire (similar to how they face challenging tradeoffs in the real world), it shows us what they truly value.
Conjoint analysis data lead to powerful and intuitive what-if market simulators for predicting what buyers would do in future market scenarios.
What is MaxDiff scaling?
MaxDiff (best-worst scaling) works much better than standard rating scales for prioritizing and quantifying the importance or preference for items on a list. MaxDiff places the list items into subsets of 4 or 5 and asks the respondent to choose which is the most important and least important for each subset.
MaxDiff asks the respondents to make simple best-worst prioritizations and in turn reveals the true order and magnitude.
