Sammendrag	Perceptual and preference mapping is a family of multivariate techniques that simultaneously positions competing objects—brands, products, or stimuli—and respondent preferences within a common low-dimensional space. Introduced systematically by Hauser and Koppelman (1979), the approach lets researchers visualize how consumers perceive attribute-level similarities among objects and which attributes drive individual or segment-level choice. It is widely used in market research, sensory science, and strategic positioning analysis.	Multidimensional scaling maps objects described only by pairwise similarities or dissimilarities into a low-dimensional geometric space so that distances in that space reflect the original proximity structure as faithfully as possible. It is widely used to visualize the hidden structure of psychological, social, and behavioral data.
