PART 1: Survey of the American Consumer<br />

I. Product and Service Category-Related <strong>Psychographic</strong>s<br />

F. Technology Attitudes<br />

Some people “get” new technology, and some don’t—ask any 16 year old who has tried to explain the different features of a new cell phone to<br />

a parent. These questions explore the different ways adults confront or conform to new technologies. The responses can be useful when<br />

designing new products, promoting new features or selecting the right media vehicles as target markets emerge, expand or contract.<br />

Questions – Technology Attitudes: How much do you agree or disagree with each of the statements (agree completely, agree somewhat,<br />

disagree somewhat, disagree completely)?<br />

• I enjoy reading about new technology products<br />

• I’m willing to pay more for top quality electronics<br />

• Computers are too confusing to be of much use to me<br />

• I give others advice when they are looking to buy technology or electronics products<br />

• Computers can be a good source of entertainment<br />

• I’m fascinated by new technology<br />

• Technology helps make my life more organized<br />

• Before buying electronics, I do as much research as possible<br />

• Technology has little impact on my daily life<br />

• When I find a technology or electronics product I like, I typically recommend it to people I know<br />

• I am among the first of my friends and colleagues to try new technology products<br />

• At first, I was nervous about using computers, but now I’m much more comfortable<br />

• I like to read reviews before buying technology or electronics<br />
