Why do consumers make the viewing decisions they do?
This study takes a deep dive into how moods, needs states, environmental context and psychographics affect content, platform and device choices.

Other Objectives Include:
Assess new/alternative viewing behaviors and occasions and the “whys” or factors that influence their decision for engaging in these behaviors.
- Establish a hierarchy across different viewing options.
- Enumerate emerging viewing behaviors and understand the relative frequency to better understand the true impact of each.
- Develop profiles or categories of those engaging in emerging behaviors to inform marketing and programming efforts.
- Evaluate the affect of mood on decision making (i.e. program selection, device use).
- Observe the impact of situational, environmental or ergonomic factors on preferred viewing methods; and gauge the role of personal preferences or psychographic traits.
The objective of the research is to help Programmers and MSOs understand the drivers behind viewing decision-making to help them stay one step ahead of emerging viewership trends in this ever-changing market.
In addition to the in-depth qualitative, the quantitative portion of the study not only includes rich survey data but also, comprehensive behavioral data from the Media Behavior Institute’s TouchPoints.
