Awareness of Algorithmic Personalization

This information helps contextualise your responses. No personally identifiable data is collected.

Construct 1 · P1–P3

Digital Reflexivity (DR)

How algorithmic systems construct recursive behavioral representations of you that shape your preferences, choices, and identity over time.

P1

How accurately do recommendation algorithms (shopping, streaming, social media) predict what you will want next?

Relates to DR depth and predictive accuracy of algorithmic consumer representations.

P1b

To what extent do you feel algorithms shape or influence your preferences rather than just reflecting them?

Relates to consumer autonomy reduction under high DR depth.

P2

When an algorithm instantly adapts to your recent behavior, do you feel served or surveilled?

Relates to real-time DR speed and its effect on trust vs. perceived surveillance.

P3

How much stronger should regulatory governance be over real-time, deep algorithmic profiling of consumers?

Relates to governance burden from combined DR depth and speed.

Construct 2 · P4–P6

Ethical Feedback Elasticity (EFE)

How well companies adjust their algorithmic marketing systems in response to consumer complaints, regulatory signals, and ethical concerns.

P4

When you've raised concerns about data use or personalization with a platform/brand, how responsive were they in actually adjusting their behavior?

Relates to EFE's effect on consumer trust via perceived responsiveness.

P4b

When a company visibly adjusts its marketing practices in response to user feedback, how much does it increase your trust in that brand?

Direct link between perceived responsiveness and consumer trust (P4 mediation).

P5

How often do you feel companies prioritize profit optimization over genuinely addressing your ethical or privacy concerns?

Relates to commercial pressure reducing EFE (P5 — EFE erosion).

P6

Would you trust a company more if it proactively invited consumer councils or ethics boards to audit its marketing algorithms — before regulations demanded it?

Relates to institutionalized stakeholder voice and EFE signal sensitivity (P6).

Construct 3 · P7–P9

Value Coherence Index (VCI)

How well algorithmic marketing systems align their optimization objectives and governance with the genuine values of consumers, regulators, and society at large.

P7

Overall, how well do you feel current algorithmic marketing systems align with broader societal values (fairness, privacy, transparency, autonomy)?

Relates to the overall VCI as the integrative outcome of DR and EFE interaction (P7).

P8

Do you maintain stronger loyalty to platforms or brands that have consistently kept ethical marketing practices over time — even if others offered better short-term deals?

Tests VCI temporal coherence linking to long-term brand equity and loyalty (P8).

P8b

Would you pay a premium for a platform that provably aligns its algorithms with your values — even if its personalization isn't the most accurate?

Tests brand equity premium linked to VCI beyond personalization quality (P8).

P9

Do you believe that companies genuinely aligned with consumer values should face lighter, co-operative regulation rather than adversarial enforcement?

Tests P9: high VCI → regulatory co-operation vs. adversarial intervention.

Your voice, in your own words (optional)

Share a specific experience where an algorithmic marketing system felt genuinely helpful, manipulative, or surprising. This qualitative insight directly enriches the theory.
