Temporal Stability of Risk Preference Measures

Temporal stability of long-term measures of fundamental frequency

We investigated long-term mean, median and base value of F0 to estimate how long it takes their variability to stabilize. Change point analysis was used to locate stabilization points. In one experiment, stabilization points were calculated in recordings of the same text spoken in 26 languages. Average stabilization points are 5 seconds for base value and 10 seconds for mean and median. Varianc...

Intensity Measures of Consumer Preference

To design successful new products and services, managers need to measure consumer preferences relative to product attributes. Many existing methods use ordinal measures. Intensity measures have the potential to provide more information per question, thus allowing more accurate models or fewer consumer questions (lower survey cost, less consumer wearout). To exploit this potential, researchers m...

The Strength of Issues: Using Multiple Measures to Gauge Preference Stability, Ideological Constraint, and Issue Voting

Avenerable supposition of American survey research is that the vast majority of voters have incoherent and unstable preferences about political issues, which in turn have little impact on vote choice. We demonstrate that these findings are manifestations of measurement error associated with individual survey items. First, we show that averaging a large number of survey items on the same broadly...
