New Podcast Episode: Avoiding the Affect Heuristic in Market Research

Denver, CO, October 16, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Join host Sandra Thomas-Comenole on the 8th episode of The Behavioral Economics in Marketing Podcast as she discusses the "Avoiding the Affect Heuristic in Market Research." The affect heuristic represents a reliance on good or bad feelings experienced in relation to a stimulus and is typically used while judging the risks and benefits of something, depending on the positive or negative feelings that people associate with that stimulus. The affect heuristic is a hurdle in marketing research that can skew results. To overcome this hurdle, market researchers should make sure that their data collection methods are sound, understand the ways that their subjects' current attitudes can skew results, seek out peers to review their research and possibly inoculate subjects with neutral information.
