Assessment Description
Overview: In this individual assignment, you will be given an opportunity to critically analyse and
understand the driving forces of perception, attitudes, motivation, group and individual differences,
culture, family and lifestyle that influence consumer behaviour and consequently consumers’ purchasing
decisions. Based on the analysis you conducted in Assessment 1, you are required to create a survey
via Survey Monkey – a free online instrument. The sample size must include a minimum of 15 participants
who recently purchased the product or service that you analysed in Assessment 1. The survey must
comprise a minimum of 10 questions. You are then required to provide a 5-page summary of the key
findings.
Please note that it is essential to seek “real” and valid participants who legitimately purchased the product
or service.
You will need to use theories and concepts related to consumer behaviour discussed in Weeks 5 to 8.
More specifically:
1. Set a goal
2. Design a questionnaire based on the following aspects:
Perception
Attitudes
Motivation
Group and individual differences

Family and lifestyle

4. Gather data
5. Analyse data
6. Write a 5-page summary analysis
