Tüketici Davranışı Bağlamında “Bales’in Etkileşim Süreci Analizi” Yaklaşımının Uygulanabilirliğine İlişkin Bir Ön Çalışma

Bu çalışmanın amacı, aile içi (karı-koca) satın alma kararlarında “Bales’ in Etkileşim Süreci Analizi” nin uygulanabilirliğini test etmektir. “Bales’ in Etkileşim Süreci Analizi” yönteminin etkililiğinin incelenmesi sırasında kullanılan araç, yine Bales’ gözlemleri aracılığıyla geliştirilmiş olan bir dizi hipotezdir. Araştırmada 15 çift (karı-koca) yer almıştır. Çiftlerden beklenen bir katalogdan yararlanarak stereo müzik seti satın alma kararı vermeleridir. 15 çiftten 5’ine “düşük” ürün bilgisi, 5’ine “orta” ürün bilgisi, ve 5’ine de “yüksek” ürün bilgisi verilmiştir. Uygulamalar doğallığı sağlamak amacıyla deneklerin evlerinde, yani kendi doğal ortamlarında gerçekleştirilmiş, uygulamalar Panasonic HC-V700EG-K ile kaydedilmiştir. Deneklerin etkileşimleri “Bales’ in Etkileşim Süreci Analizi” yaklaşımı kullanılarak kategorize edilmiştir. “Bales’in Etkileşim Süreci Analizi” yaklaşımı kullanılarak elde edilmiş olan veri, “Bales’in Etkileşim Süreci Analizi” yaklaşımının tüketici aile içi karar verme davranışlarını incelemede etkili bir araç olduğunu ortaya koymuştur

An Exploratory Investigation of Bales’ Interaction Process Analysis as it to Consumer Behavior

The purpose of this study to establish the feasibility of Bales’ system of Interaction Process Analysis in the study of a husband-wife purchase decision. The vehicle for the exploration of this method was the development and testing of specific hypotheses using Bales’ system of observation. Fifteen couples were exposed to a situation in which they were asked to select for themselves a portable stereo phonograph from a catalog. Five couples received small “pieces” of product information, five couples received medium “pieces” of product information, and five couples received large “pieces” of product information. Each couple was observed in their home and their respective interaction was later categorized from a tape (Panasonic HC-V700EG-K) made in the couple’ s home. The couple’ s interaction was categorized using Bales’ system of Interaction Process Analysis. From the data produced by the system, we have concluded that Bales’s system of Interaction Process Analysis is sensitive enough to use in the study of consumer behavior, but mainly as an evidence gathering tool
