Planning and Conducting Experimental Advertising Research and Questionnaire Design
Abstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
