•To serve as a learning vehicle for the application of Addressable Minds to a practical—and all too prevalent—social issue

•The results of the survey are sufficient to show the power of the method

A Survey Was Performed by the Team in the area of Eating Disorders…

The Addressable Minds Team and its Queens College interns teamed up with Yorktown High

School to construct a survey that would tap into the minds of adolescent girls, in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the triggers and motivations for the unhealthy eating habits that

often lead to severe eating disorders.

• Addressable Minds is a scientific, actionable form of “predictive consumer intelligence” for business and social issues accurately defining consumer attitudes and preferences both stated and unstated.

• It has been described by Malcolm Gladwell and others as discovering the “DNA of the Consumers Mind”.

• This patented science created by Dr. Howard Moskowitz, author of “Selling Blue Elephants” (Wharton Press) and the Wharton Business School has achieved critical acclaim and financial success across:

– product design and development, – consumer messaging,– more effective consumer engagement physically and digitally.

SURVEY OVERVIEW(1 of 2)

• An Addressable Minds Survey is a survey of key ideas—for this case, the understanding of eating disorders

• Survey conducted on August 5, 2011:– Population: teenage girls from a wide demographic range across the US

• The team created key marketing and advertising messaging with the intent of better understanding the way teenage girls think, and why they are most susceptible to disordered eating behaviors

• Data reveals the mind-sets of respondents across the United States, as well as ‘what works, what doesn’t’

Three Unique Segments Were Identified

The Control Seekers

The Low Self-esteem Team

The ‘Aware, But Don’t

Care’

The Control Seekers- These are girls who are not necessarily overweight, but feel as though they have little control over their lives, and

therefore seem to seek this control by limiting how much they eat.

Page 21: Eating Disorders in Adolescent Girls.ppt

21

The 'Aware, But Don't Care’-These girls are average in body weight and self-esteem. They are aware of how much they eat, and know that it might not be the healthiest way, but aren't motivated to change their habits out

of stubbornness and/or laziness.

Page 22: Eating Disorders in Adolescent Girls.ppt

22

The Low Self-esteem Team- These girls have very low self-esteem, criticize themselves frequently, and feel inferior to their peers due to their

weight. Additionally, many have some sort of family history of health related problems due to poor eating habits.

• The three segments discovered by Addressable Minds point to the need for 3 individual messaging groups to target teenage girls with regards to eating behaviors and body image

• People see the world differently and react to it in their own unique ways. Only once you probe deeply into the mind of your target audience can you begin to understand them and learn how to best meet their needs

• Because the girls who participated in this study were able to express themselves anonymously, within the privacy and comfort of their home (and computers), there were little if any external pressures affecting how they reacted to the questions asked

• We (Sima and Susan) hope this study proves to be instrumental in helping others better understand the pressures that adolescent girls face and grapple with each day
