An Empirical Study of the Scientific Styles of Marketing Academics

Reports the results of a survey of scientific styles based on a survey of 249 marketing academics. Most respondents did not exhibit personality types associated with analytical scientists, although they most strongly endorsed the research values and attitudes associated with this style. A greater proportion of senior marketing academics had the sensing‐thinking personality type associated with analytical scientists than had junior marketing faculty.
