Answer to Question 2

In marketing research, observation is a systematic process of recording actual behavioral patterns of people, objects, and events as they happen. Observational studies gather a wide variety of information about behavior. Seven kinds of observable phenomena are listed in Exhibit 11.1, and students can discuss any four:
(1) Physical activities - shopping patterns or television viewing; a worker's movement during an assembly process
(2) Verbal behavior - sales conversations
(3) Expressive behavior - facial expressions
(4) Spatial relations and locations - traffic patterns; proximity of middle managers' offices to the president's office
(5) Temporal patterns - amount of time it takes to execute a stock purchase order
(6) Physical objects - amount of newspaper recycled
(7) Verbal and pictorial records - content of advertisements; number of illustrations appearing in a training booklet
