“…Drawing on Lazarus' (1973) writing on multimodal therapy in clinical settings, this approach to qualitative research was designed to be psychologically systematic and comprehensive. As previously described in detail by myself (Cohen, 1999), and elaborated on by Haseeb Shabbir and his colleagues (Shabbir, 2011;Shabbir, Hyman, Reast, & Palihawadana, 2013;Shabbir, Palihawadana, & Thwaites, 2007), and others (e.g., Berthon, Pitt, & DesAutels, 2011;Boon, 2013;Griessmair, Strunk, & Auer-Srnka, 2011;Martin & Woodside, 2011;Rountree & Davis, 2011;Sargeant & Shang, 2011), DQR is "an innovative approach to qualitative inquiry that can set the stage for a systematic, multifaceted, and psychologically sophisticated evaluation of the subject under investigation" (Shabbir, 2011, p. 977). When skillfully applied during the data gathering and data interpretation processes, DQR can yield useful and actionable insights regarding critically important variables such as the memorability, credibility, and persuasiveness of advertising.…”
