Skeptical of Survey Data? Community Poll Open Now ✔️Poll

Are you or your stakeholders skeptical of survey data? Many are becoming increasingly skeptical of survey data, in terms of relevance, inherent bias, and retrospective views. How can a broader cross-section of distribution methods can improve this sampling? Do you have any examples of how broadening your sampling methods across multiple channels improved data quality and reduced bias? Has anyone done this analysis across your own internal or external customer base? Tell us in the comments how one can improve the integrity of survey results 🤔

Why are there more responses than results?

I created a survey with one Rank Order question. The Results tab says there are 21 responses, but there are only 13 results. When I look at the Data & Analysis tab, it says there are 21 responses, but not all of them have any ranking (some have the numbers for the ranking on the side, but 8 of them don’t have any numbers.) This survey is being used for voting, and I’m not sure how to count these. Did 21 people look at the survey, but only 13 clicked Submit? Did 21 people submit the survey, but 8 of them didn’t reorder the ranking options?

Piping text from a Loop & Merge field in another block

Hi everyone! I would like to ask your help for this task.  I have created a block with a multiple choice question and multiple answers asking participants which of following events happened to them in the last 12 months (screenshot below).After the participants select their events, I would like to ask them some questions for one specific event taken at random from the ones they selected. Therefore, in another block I used the Loop & merge field.   Now I’m in a new block, and I would like to use piped text to refer back to the same event, but I’m not allowed to do it because in new blocks I can’t pipe previous Loop & merge fields from previous blocks. I can’t neither create a new Loop & Merge field beacuse this would randomly pick a new item from the list (while I would like to pick the same event as before!).  My question is: how can I pipe the text that I’ve created from a loop & merge in a previous block? Should I use some Embedded data in Javascript? If yes, can you

How do I make a choice group in a multiple choice question exclusive?

Hello, I have a multiple choice question that allows multiple answers. The answer choices are split into two groups and I want participants to be able to choose answers within only one group, but as many answers they want within that group. For example:Group AChoice 1Choice 2Choice 3Group BChoice 1Choice 2Choice 3Choice 4Choice 5Participants should be able to select as many choices as they want with Group A or B, but if they select any choices in Group A they won't be able to select any in Group B and vice versa. I tried custom validation, but that didn't work they way I needed. Is there javascript to achieve this?

How do you display both choice count and percentage in a Report?

I have a one-off survey that I don’t need a dashboard to share results, just a report. Is there a way to include both the count of responses AND the percentage of responses in each question?

Setting up survey form for quarterly reporting, prepopulating previous entries

I’m trying to set up a Qualtrics form for local providers to use submit their quarterly outcomes reports for programs funded with grant money. They submit the outcome results quarterly. Previously, they filled these reports out using a Word doc/PDF. They would save each quarter’s documents using the last so the previous quarter’s outcomes would automatically be on their report. They would update the YTD numbers each quarter accordingly. I’m wondering if there’s a way to set this up in Qualtrics so that when they go to fill out the second quarter’s outcomes, the first quarter outcomes they entered previously prepopulate. I’m thinking I’ll need to use piped text somehow, but am not sure how to do that from a previously completed, seperate survey. Or, it’s possible I need to set up the survey differently. Right now, I’m creating a seperate survey for each provider so that their unique goals and outcomes prepopulate as well. Any advice appreciated.

Affiliation Question for a Social Network Questionnaire

Hi Qualtrics Community,  I’m new to qualtrics and am working on putting together a social network analysis questionnaire where I am asking my respondents to  “Please list all the formal organizations you’re affiliated with and your role within them”I am adapting this from a paper survey where I am asking them to manually write these down, but I want to have an online option.Currently, I am using the text entry multiple lines option (pressing enter after each affiliation), but I would like to organize this reflect the separate entry format. I am also open to adding a multiple choice option for an individual’s role in an organization. Does anyone have any recommendations about how I would organize a question like this in Qualtrics? Thanks, John

Difficulties with Branch Logic

I’m new to Qualtrics and can’t make branch logic work as I’d like to.I have 2 matrix questions (with 5 items in each).  If the mean score of each matrix question is below 2, I’d like to ask a follow-up qualitative question.The survey works as expected when Matrix 1 & Matrix 2 are Low/Low, Low/High & High/High.  When it is High/Low - Matrix 1 mean is above 2 and Matrix 2 is below 2, the survey does not present the 2nd follow up question (Uniqueness Qual). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Loop & Merge questions sequence

In Question 1 we ask the responded the countries they have worked in (Out of 10). Based on their answer we need to make a loop. In the loop we need to ask a set of 5 questions. Those questions need to be asked for 15 companies. So the sequence of the loop goes --> 5 questions for each company starting from the first country then moving onto the next country. The problem that I’m facing is that the loop moves to the next country after the “Company 1” without exhausting rest of the companies.Is this correct?Side note: I need to pipe in the company and country names from fields into the Questions text as well.

Randomize order of image displayed with same 3 follow-up questions

I am relatively new to Qualtrics and have a limited (at best) experience with coding. I am hoping that someone might be able to help me with the following:I have an array of 47 images and I want to display 1 image (at random) with three follow up questions per page. Each participant will answer the same set of three questions for each of the 47 images. However, I want the image order to be random for each participant and I want for the participant to see each picture once per survey. I have read various forums regarding choice/block randomization and the loop and merge function but I am struggling to apply these to my project. I have uploaded the 47 images into my “library” but I don’t know the best way to get the pictures from the library and into the survey. I saw another forum mention embedding each image URL into a multiple choice question and then implementing the choice randomization. However, I don’t want the participant to “choose” a picture (as they would for a multiple choice

Post Survey Thank You Email Issue

I created a Survey where at the end of it a user gets a “Summary” of some of the information they inputted in it. It was mostly Piped Text and displayed fine with the correct information at the End of Survey. However I also setup a Post-Survey Thank You e-mail using the same data/information from the End of Survey message, however it does not display any of the Piped Text information at all. When I tested my Survey prior to launch, the e-mails displayed the correct information. The only change that happened between testing and now is I added an E-mail Authentication page prior to being able to access the Survey, but that is it. Would this cause the e-mail issue I am having? Thanks

How to track progress of one group in multiple surveys

Hello,My group is task to develop a survey to track customer behaviors. We have the customer contact information (i.e. email). Simple enough! Then we were told that we also need to send customer a letter by mail with the URL in case some might not see the email invite. But we need to make sure that each customer only complete the survey once.My initial thought was to use the authenticator, so I followed the steps, but the didn’t seem to work. So I proceeded to creating two survey and link them together, following the instrument found in this Youtube link. That did work as our ability to customize anonymous have been removed. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts what other method can be use for this issue. Much appreciate the input in advance.

Seeking Assistance on Randomized Treatment Assignment in Survey Design

Hello Everyone, I am writing here because I am encountering some issues when creating my survey for my thesis. I am studying whether matching a chatbot personality to the user can yield to a greater acceptance. To do so, after asking their personality type, I would like to assign each participant randomly to different treatments. However, with the way I’m doing things, the participant goes through all these blocks one after the other. Here below is a screenshot of the Survey Flow. Is there a way to go in which the participant selects an answer from a questions and is allocated randomly to one of these following blocks once?Your assistance upon this matter is highly appreciated.Best regards, Jorge Ibanez

How to keep track of dyad responses for 2 surveys

I am doing a study with predetermined dyads (the individual who qualifies for the study and a significant other of theirs they recruit as well), who will each take separate Qualtrics surveys. Each person, i.e. the individual and sig other, will email me to enroll in the study, and once they both people in the dyad email me, I will send them their respective survey link for Qualtrics. How should I go about keeping track of the survey data so I know which survey responses should go together for the dyad? Is there anyway I can make multiple custom links for each survey, so for example, send out a link that identifies they are from Dyad 1 so I know what 2 survey responses to link together?
