Executive summary Arazindi Fashion House (AFH), an Australian clothing store, initiated a promotional technique in which customers were issued with a card that entitled them to a 20% discount on any purchase they made during the month of June. The nationwide sales manager of AFH conducted a research that was mainly intended to establish the effectiveness of this promotional technique. Particularly, the research intended to establish whether or not the amount of sales was influenced by the use of promotional cards. A sample of 200 customers was used in the research. From this sample, techniques of data analysis such as correlation, use of descriptive statistics, and graphical methods were used to answer the questions posed by the research.

Research Methods: Thinking Critically With Psychological Science The Need for Psychological Science Much of contemporary psychological science documents a vast intuitive mind. Intuition is important, but we often underestimate its perils. Two phenomena?hindsight bias and judgmental overconfidence?illustrate why we cannot rely solely on intuition and common sense. Did We Know It All Along? Hindsight Bias The term ?hindsight bias? refers to the tendency to believe, after learning and outcome, that one would have foreseen it. (Also known as the I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon.) Errors in out recollections and explanations show why we need psychological research. Common sense more easily describes what has happened than what will happen.
