Due date: Saturday, 3 November– 3 pm
Write up the results of each exercise, providing appropriate tables (or graphs) and written commentary for each exercise. To your written report, attach a set of the SPSS printouts you have produced (presented as a tidy Appendix).
** Based on your class number (you could check it from AUT online), please delete 5 cases based on your class number. (For example, if your class number is 1[2/3/../6/..], you MUST delete case ID 1-5 [11-15/21-25/…/51-55/..]). So, each student will use a different data set.My class number is 1
A marketing researcher wants to examine the moderating role that brand awareness plays in the relationship between price presentation (i.e., precise price vs. rounded price) and attitude toward brand X (1= very bad/not at all positive, 9 = very good/very positive). The mediator is the ease of processingprice information (1= easy to process price information, 9 = difficult to process price information). Mood (1= bad mood, 9 = good mood) is also measured. Same size was 309.
Conceptual Model:
Overall task

(ii) Report results &
(iii) Write an implication of results using the conclusions from your data analysis.
Appendix for results of SPSS & SPSS syntax
#1: Conduct ANOVA (The impact of IV on DV: IV -> DV) (5 points)
#2: Conduct mediation analysis (IV-> mediator [ease to process price information] -> DV) with Hayes method. (4) (5 points)
#3: Conduct “Reverse mediation test” for above analysis #2with Hayes method (5 points)
#4: Test mood as an alternative explanationfor mediator (ease to process price information). (5 points).Hyse vision 2 to conduct sable from Aut computer
#5: Test moderation effect: (The moderating role of brand awareness on the impact of IV on DV) (5 points) hays or normal ANOVA
#6.Conduct planned contrastfor #5. Examine the impact of IV on DV across two levels of brand awareness (5 points) 38-39
#7: Conduct mediated moderation model (the conceptual model above) with Hayes method (5 points)
#8: Based on reading of Kim et al (2018, AMJ), please evaluate the analyses above [Is it good or bad approach? Why?]. (5 points)
