**Methodology**
**3. Sampling**
A rigorous stratified random sampling methodology was employed for the survey, ensuring
representation across various demographic segments such as age, gender, income, and
geographic location. Conversely, for the in-depth interviews, a purposive sampling strategy was
utilized to include participants with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, thereby enriching the
qualitative analysis.
* **Qualitative Data Analysis:** The qualitative interview data underwent rigorous thematic
analysis. This process aimed to uncover recurrent themes and patterns related to cognitive
learning processes and their direct implications on consumer attitudes and intentions regarding
EVs. By diving deep into individual experiences, we gained valuable insights into the nuanced
cognitive mechanisms that shape consumer behavior.
This study adhered stringently to ethical research principles. It ensured informed consent from
participants, guaranteed the confidentiality and privacy of data, and abided by all relevant
institutional and ethical guidelines to maintain the highest standards of ethical research.
**6. Limitations**
It is crucial to acknowledge certain limitations inherent in this study. These include potential
biases associated with self-reporting in surveys, the relatively small sample size of qualitative
interviews, and the inherent complexity of capturing the dynamic and multifaceted consumer
decision-making process. These limitations, while duly noted, should be considered in the
interpretation of the research findings.
