Attitudinal research offers insight into customers’ beliefs and feelings, enriching product and marketing strategies.
It helps tailor marketing efforts by understanding what motivates users’ decisions and preferences.
Tracking shifts in user attitudes over time keeps businesses agile and customer-focused.
Attitudinal research is a type of market research conducted to understand what people feel about an idea, product or service.
There are often two ways to conduct UX research: attitudinal vs. behavioral research.
The most common attitudinal research methods are user interviews, surveys, focus groups, experience sampling, ethnographic studies, and sentiment analysis.
Attitudinal research provides valuable insights into user preferences by revealing what customers think, feel, and want about a product or service.
Attitudinal research is limited by biases in UX research, limited predictive power, and outdated insights.
Examples of attitudinal research include understanding brand perception in the fashion industry, developing products for a tech startup using feedback, and sentiment analysis for improving customer service in an airline.
Combining attitudinal and behavioral insights allows for better-informed decisions in product development, marketing, and customer engagement.
