You will observe, research, and analyze the correlation between the timings of television commercials and their cost effectiveness.
Using the Internet, research the subject of advertising on television.
First, develop a recording sheet for television commercials (not including commercials for upcoming TV shows or public service advertisements). For each commercial, the sheet should indicate the following:

  • Television network
  • Day of the week (select 2 different days)
  • Time of day:
    • Morning: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (noon)
    • Afternoon: 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
    • Early evening: 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
    • Late evening: 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight)
  • Estimated price of the advertised product:
    • Under $10
    • $10–$100
    • $101–$500
    • $501–$10,000
    • Over $10,000

Next, analyze the content of these television commercials.
To do so, observe each network, each day, for each time slot (you may enlist a friend to help). After you gather the data, write a 2- to 3-page essay in Microsoft Word in which you answer the following questions:

  • What patterns do you find based on the price of products or the time of day or by day of the week?
  • Are the two networks the same or different?
  • What do your findings mean?

Support your responses with relevant examples.
Using APA format, cite any sources you use appropriately throughout the paper and reference on a separate page.

Advanced Research Design
In this assignment, you will research about using the Likert scale in research and evaluate its credibility.
Using the Internet, research Likert scales.
Using the following Likert type scale, study two social issues such as losing their temper at a friend, feeling jealous of a friend’s success, and so on among four fellow students.
Note your observations using the following scale:
Level of Frequency—7 Point
1
Never
2
Rarely, in less than 10% of the chances when I could have
3
Occasionally, in about 30% of the chances when I could have
4
Sometimes, in about 50% of the chances when I could have
5
Frequently, in about 70% of the chances when I could have
6
Usually, in about 90% of the chances I could have
7
Every time
Based on your experience and observations, complete the following points of discussion:

  • Explain the vagueness of everyday social measures and the necessity for more precise measures.
  • Explain the differences in the measurement process between quantitative and qualitative approaches.
  • Create a sample hypothesis and explain why it is a good example.

Scales are constructed to measure the intensity of social emotions. These scales allow us to give meaning to the data that has been collected.

  • Name and show the characteristics of four different types of scales.
  • How would these be used in research?

Reliability and validity attempt to show credibility in measurement although we can never achieve perfect credibility in social measurement.

  • Explain the definitions of reliability and validity in social research.
  • Give one example of when you would use each and explain why.
