Measuring Prepurchase Information Seeking

Joseph W. Newman; Bradley D. Lockeman

Abstract

This article reports on research which compared survey-based and observation-based measures of the amount of prepurchase information seeking for buyers of women's shoes. It raises a serious question about the adequacy of published statistics on information search, most of which have been based on survey data.
