Hypothesis development and testing
18 hypotheses were formulated
Online survey created 2 versions (goal-directed vs
experiential manipulations)
Experiment created 4 websites with the following conditions:
1) Low complexity, Low orientation aids
2) High complexity, High orientation aids
3) Low complexity, High orientation aids
4) High complexity, High orientation aids
Randomly assigned to online panel participants
Pilot testing
Pilot tested the websites and survey to a convenience
sample of online users before implementing the real
experiment.
Two pilot testing phases based on feedback from online
users.
