Research Abstract |
The purpose of present study is to examine whether one-mode multi-way multidimensional scaling (MDS) is necessary or not. In the previous studies, it is concluded that the results of a one-mode three-way MDS are similar to that of a one-mode two-way MDS. The reason for such similarity is that strong influences of dyadic relationships on triadic relationships would be included in one-mode three-way proximity data. If, the results of a one-mode three-way MDS are similar to that of a one-mode two-way MDS, dyadic relationships strongly influences triadic relationships. On the other hand, if the results of a one-mode three-way MDS are not similar to that of a one-mode two-way MDS, dyadic relationships weakly influences triadic relationships. Under weak influence of the dyadic relationships, the triadic and dyadic relationships would be separately analyzed. So, the present study compares the results obtained from marginal association with that of conditional association. It examined whether one-mode multi-way multidimensional scaling model is necessary or not. Finally, the proposed model was applied to the consumer behavior data.
