Respondents are often asked other questions
before the conjoint exercise begin (e.g. screening
criteria, demographic questions, current product
usage, etc...)
The response categories used in the questions
before a conjoint task provide conditioning and
affect choices made in the conjoint section,
altering respondents’ price sensitivity.

• Screening questions:
– Decision maker, gender, age, occupation, devices inventory (own & plan
to buy)
• Mobile device usage:
– Frequency of usage of devices own/plan to buy
• Introduction to Mobile Internet Device (MID) concept
• Evaluation of the concept:
– Overall appeal and impressions.
• Introduction to conjoint:
– Education about the features
• CBC exercise
• Profiling questions:
– Game playing, Attitudes toward technology, (open-end) thoughts about the survey.

The conditioning respondents receive before the
conjoint task (via the nature of the response
categories) matters.
Can we strategically make use of this conditioning
to make respondents/consumers pay more or less
attention to certain types of information?
