- W2328836336 abstract "The authors devised and tested a subtle information mailing to insureds to see if consumers were interested in learning more about their automobile insurance. The experimental group, which received the informational letter, did respond significantly more correctly concerning which coverages they had, and to true-false questions relative to what perils are included in each of the six standard Family Automobile Policy Coverages. This group did better, but not significantly better, in applying coverages to claim situations. It was not determined whether the increases were caused by further study of their policies or by a tendency to assume complete coverage, which would have resulted in more correct answers. It was concluded that insureds were interested in learning more about their automobile insurance.

To be sure, insurers have attempted to give information. Almost every insurer has consumer pamphlets that explain certain coverages. However, the best available information is general, usually coming from a trade association. No company has launched a concerted effort to inform the about his insurance coverages.' The primary purpose of this research was to take one insurance policy, the family automobile policy, and to discern subtly if the was interested in learning more about that policy. If he was interested, broader and more specific attempts at education could be made. A secondary purpose of the research was to give students in university marketing, programming and insurance classes a significant real-life reasearch problem. The project had to be meaningful and worthwhile. Because automobile insurance has come 1 The possible exception being Traveler's WATS line for information." @default.
