Although the demand for healthy foods has increased, the desire for convenience

attitudes towards foods and beverages. For these reasons, the objective of this study
was to evaluate the suitability of the projective technique of word association to obtain
SC
inferences about consumer perceptions regarding four types of frozen burgers:

technique of word association was employed with cluster analysis based on an
AN
attitudinal questionnaire. Fifty-six consumers participated. Healthiness, Good Flavor,
Quality/Flavor Apprehension and Fat/Calories were the most mentioned categories and

attributes. Consumers with different attitudes towards health might have different
perceptions of these meat products, which could be further explored. In general, all

34 insights can be obtained and, even when applied to a small sample size, may direct
35 further studies that better represent the population. Word association is one such
RI
36 technique that has contributed relevant information about consumers’ behavior (Gaston

63 market population but rather to provide valuable qualitative inferences. For this reason,
RI
64 the participants were eligible to complete the tasks only if they had eaten frozen food

117 hierarchical clustering was conducted to identify possible groups of consumers with
118 internally similar behavior and externally different behavior based on the attitudinal

119 questionnaire. A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed using Ward’s method and

143 The use of cluster analysis was performed because in consumer studies that
144 focus on a niche market, it is important to consider the consumer profile. In this study,
PT
145 the hierarchical clustering based on the attitudinal questionnaire (feeding, personal
146 interest in health and products with healthy attributes) allowed the identification of three
RI
147 groups of consumers. Each of these groups comprised consumers who provided
148 similar degrees of agreement to the statements of the attitudinal questionnaire. The
SC
149 dendrogram obtained is presented in Figure 2.
150 Cluster 1 contained the greatest number of consumers (43% of total), Cluster 2
151

contained the lowest number (23%), and Cluster 3 comprised an intermediate
AN
152 percentage of consumers (34%).

M
154 the group that was most prone to be interested in healthy attributes. Table 3 shows the

155 degree of agreement of the clusters with the sentences that composed the attitudinal
TE
156 questionnaire.
157 The interpretation of the Table 3 allows some general inferences. Cluster 1

158 provided the highest means (degree of agreement) for some sentences from the
159 attitudinal questionnaire. Thus, this group was slightly more likely to be interested in
