They include a few pre-Dichter reports from J. Stirling Gatchell, Inc., the earliest dated 1937. The reports have been kept are just as they were removed from the Dichters' house in 2008. Some reports may have been removed and not returned since the 1970s, so that a number of important reports, such as those on the Plymouth automobile and the “Tiger in your tank” campaign, are now missing. Dr. Dichter's own card index, which cross-referenced reports by number, client and topic, is included. | | | Extent: | 125 | | | Subjects: | Dichter, Ernest, -- 1907-1991 -- Archives | Institute for Motivational Research, Inc. -- Archives | Advertising -- Effectiveness | Advertising -- Rating of | African American consumers -- Attitudes | Consumers -- Canada -- Attitudes | Consumers -- France -- Attitudes | Consumers -- Germany -- Attitudes | Consumers -- Great Britain -- Attitudes | Consumers -- Interviews | Consumers -- Switzerland -- Attitudes | Consumers -- United States -- Attitudes | Employee motivation -- Reports | Housewives -- Attitudes | Motivation (Psychology) | Motivation research (Marketing) -- Reports | Packaging -- Rating of | Women consumers -- Attitudes
