Assignment 2 – VALS2 & You: Understanding Yourself as a Consumer

Length: 1000+ words. Remember, 1000 words is a minimum. Don’t let it hold you back from writing more than that—unless you want the minimal grade. Be thorough and complete.

Topic: Take the VALS2 survey at https://tinyurl.com/22w2dh4

Objectives: Using concepts we have studied so far, examine your personal VALS2 results.

Explain your results given the answers you gave (don’t list the questions and your answers, discuss the overall process). Remember

to look at your primary and secondary categories.

How accurately does VALS2 describe or explain some of your own consumer behaviors?

Did your results match what you thought you would get or did they differ?

Now how would you extend this to understanding other consumers’ behaviors?

Your paper should include some kind of direct references to course concepts. Terms that you use should be Bolded. Your paper will be graded based on the relevant terms you use and the accuracy with which you apply them. Avoid term dumping. Cite Sources.
