7.4.1: Control Group Examination<br />

An issue f<strong>or</strong> the study is the composition <strong>of</strong> the control group as the maj<strong>or</strong>ity (40/64%) <strong>of</strong> the<br />

participants allocated to the control group elected to use their credit card. Eighteen<br />

participants used their debit card (28%) with just five (8%) choosing cash. Because this<br />

possibly renders the control group a ‘credit card’ categ<strong>or</strong>y it was decided to compare each <strong>of</strong><br />

the payment mode categ<strong>or</strong>ies within the control group and across the two test groups (<strong>Cash</strong><br />

and Debit <strong>Card</strong> users).<br />

7.4.1.1: Control group-within group comparison<br />

To enable an effective within group comparison, cash and debit card users were collapsed<br />

into a new group labelled ‘owned money’. Comparison <strong>of</strong> volume and value purchase shown<br />

in Table Two. Though, the ANOVA result is not significant (F=2.860, p=0.0960), the<br />

average spend in value figure differs by the average dollar spend (credit users spend 29%<br />

m<strong>or</strong>e than those who used personal savings). The number <strong>of</strong> items purchased between those<br />

who used owned money and credit card is also not statistically significant (F=2.047,<br />

p=0.158). However, a closer evaluation shows credit card users also bought m<strong>or</strong>e products.<br />
