  7. USING ‘PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES’ IN A COMMERCIAL CONTEXT • Assumptions about consumers' decisions: • Have an emotional and subconscious content. • This cannot adequately/accurately be elicited via direct techniques. • This content is important to MR

  8. CHARACTERISTICS OF ‘PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES’ • Encourage respondents to express conscious or unconscious thoughts, feelings, emotions (Emotional colour). • Use vague or ambiguous stimuli. • Direct opposite of clear, simple, unambiguous direct questioning. • Used occasionally in specific circumstances.

  9. EXAMPLES OF ‘PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES’ • Word Association • Sentence Completion - (speech bubbles?) • ‘Third Person’ Technique – (e.g. ‘Friendly Martian’) • Animalisation (i.e. ‘Transformation’) • Picture Interpretation • Sketch your own • Stories: interpret , complete etc
