Overall Research Project Description The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the retail industry has revolutionized consumer experiences, shopping behaviors, and marketing strategies. However, limited research has investigated how AI's integration in retail environments interacts with intergenerational influences, shaping conspicuous consumerism behaviors across generational cohorts. This research project aims to contribute to the existing knowledge by exploring how AI influences conspicuous consumerism behaviors among different generations in retail settings.
Research Tasks Some key task examples include:

Literature Review: Conduct a comprehensive literature review to identify existing studies related to AI in retail, conspicuous consumerism, and intergenerational influences on consumer behavior. Summarize key findings and provide a synthesis of relevant literature to inform the research background and justification.

Survey Development: Assist in developing the online survey by drafting and refining structured questions related to AI perceptions, conspicuous consumerism, and intergenerational influences. Collaborate with the research team to ensure clarity and appropriateness of the survey instrument.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Please be advised that this general listing is not exhaustive:

Required Skills:

1. Communication Skills: Clear and effective communication is essential for research assistants to interact with the research team, participants, and other stakeholders. They must be able to articulate ideas, ask questions, and convey information accurately.

2. Attention to Detail: Research assistants need strong attention to detail to ensure accurate data collection, entry, and analysis. They must be meticulous in following research protocols and handling data with precision.

3. Personal Calendar Management: Meeting deadlines and managing calendarizing project deliverables and suspenses efficiently are crucial for research assistants. They should be able to prioritize tasks, organize their schedules, and deliver work on time.

Recommended Skills:

4. Analytical Skills: Strong analytical skills are valuable for research assistants to understand and interpret research findings. They should be capable of analyzing data and identifying patterns or trends.

5. Problem-Solving Skills: Research assistants may encounter challenges during data collection or analysis. Possessing problem-solving skills helps them navigate and overcome obstacles effectively.

Overall, I believe it is paramount that research assistants are open to learning new skills and adapting to the requirements of their research roles.
