Description: Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) concentrates on the subject of marketing research, from its philosophy, concepts, and theories to its methods, techniques, and applications. This quarterly, peer-reviewed journal is published for technically-oriented research analysts, educators, and statisticians. JMR addresses concepts, methods, and applications of marketing research that present new techniques, contribute to knowledge based on experimental or descriptive methods, and review developments and concepts in related fields that have bearing on the research industry and practice. Articles pertain to applications of new and current marketing research methods and techniques, clarifications of marketing research methodology and practice, and analysis of the state of the art marketing research.

JMR publishes articles representing the entire spectrum of research in marketing, ranging from analytical models of marketing phenomena to descriptive studies using ethnographic methodologies. Most research published in JMR fits into two categories: (1) empirical research that tests a theory or describes and evaluates a management practice and (2) methodological research that presents new approaches for analyzing data or addressing marketing research problems.

JMR has a wide and experienced editorial review board that is composed of leading academics in the field. The 'moving wall' represents the time period between the last issue available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal. Moving walls are generally represented in years.

The specific requirements or preferences of your reviewing publisher, classroom teacher, institution or organization should be applied.

In rare instances, a publisher has elected to have a 'zero' moving wall, so their current issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication. Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted. For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available. Terms Related to the Moving Wall Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive. Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title. Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been combined with another title.

The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) is a forced choice, objective, non-projective personality inventory, derived from the theory of H. A. Murray, which measures the rating of individuals in fifteen normal needs or motives. On the EPPS there are nine statements used for each scale. Social Desirability ratings have been done for each item, and the pairing of items attempts to match items of approximately equal social desirability. Fifteen pairs of items are repeated twice for the consistency scale.

1. Achievement : A need to accomplish tasks well
2. Deference: A need to conform to customs and defer to others
3. Order: A need to plan well and be organized
4. Exhibition: A need to be the center of attention in a group
5. Autonomy: A need to be free of responsibilities and obligations
6. Affiliation: A need to form strong friendships and attachments
7. Intraception: A need to analyze behaviors and feelings of others
8. Succorance: A need to receive support and attention from others
9. Dominance: A need to be a leader and influence others
10. Abasement: A need to accept blame for problems and confess errors to others
11. Nurturance: A need to be of assistance to others
12. Change: A need to seek new experiences and avoid routine
13. Endurance: A need to follow through on tasks and complete assignments
14. Heterosexuality: A need to be associated with and attractive to members of the opposite sex
15. Aggression: A need to express one's opinion and be critical of others

(Edwards, 1959/1985)^{[citation needed]}

The inventory consists of 225 pairs of statements in which items from each of the 15 scales are paired with items from the other 14 plus the other fifteen pairs of items for the optional consistency check. This leaves the total number of items (14x15) at 210. Edwards has used the last 15 items to offer the candidate the same item twice, using the results to calculate a consistency score. The result will be considered valid if the consistency checks for more than 9 out of 15 paired items. Within each pair, the subjects choose one statement as more characteristic of themselves, reducing the social desirability factor of the test. Due to the forced choice, the EPPS is an ipsative test, the statements are made in relation to the strength of an individual's other needs. Hence, like personality, it is not absolute. Results of the test are reliable, although there are doubts about the consistency scale.

ValidityEdit

The manual reports studies comparing the EPPS with the Guilford Martin Personality Inventory and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale. Other researchers have correlated the California Psychological Inventory, the Adjective Check List, the Thematic Apperception Test, the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, and the MMPI with the EPPS. In these studies there are often statistically significant correlations among the scales of these tests and the EPPS, but the relationships are usually low-to-moderate and sometimes are difficult for the researcher to explain. Since the MMPI is still actively used today on a worldwide basis as a major brand test this comparison might be the most interesting to study.

Suggested UsesEdit

The EPPS has been designed primarily for personal counselling, but has found its way into recruitment as well. The EPPS is very suitable for these purposes.
