Undergrad psychology student requires participants

bump for later

Do I get paid?

Will do. I majored in psychology and am happy to help. Not to be nosy but I just want to ad that I hope you plan on going on in the field right away! I wish I had and am considering trying to return to school for a masters

Hi there!

I did a grad certificate in survey research - let me see if I can help you out a little :P

First, I'm assuming you're doing something with the MBTI or Kiersey Temperment sorter. If you are, there are several well-known measurements with a lot fewer questions. I *wanted* to help you out, I remember how hard this was, but even I'm not going through 213 questions. Since you'll likely find really high correlations, asking more than seven variations on the same thing is likely counterproductive.

To improve completion rates:

- Make the first sentence about the study - usually not a need to identify yourself in the beginning.
- REDUCE the number of questions. You should be able to get statistically reliable results for this in about 50 questions or less, depending on your number of variables. Usually for everything you want to measure there's something in the literature for it already, so use it! Unless the assignment was to write your own, of course.
- Collect demographic information at the end of the survey
- If there are a lot of questions, divvy them up into pages and give people a progress bar. I think SurveyMonkey still offers free accounts.

Anyway, good luck! I hope you get what you need.

I tried to do it, got through the whole thing, and then it said I hadn't answered all of the questions...almost all of my answers were erased. I 'x'd out of the screen; sorry! But I am just not answering over 200 questions again.

I don't know if it was just a fluke by I did the survey and said next and it told me I had missed some questions. When I went back over half my answers had gone missing

I am guessing the glitch is part of the project to see how many Quit and how many go back and answer the questions again.

I saw that 13 and 14 were the same questions however, when I got the initial error and looked for the first wrong question I realized the that 13 and 14 were now different.

I then hit the back button to verify that in fact I did select all of the so called missed questions...I then selected Quit.

You should have added a question "Did you only complete this survey because when you originally clicked on it you made a promise to yourself that you would do this for a fellow MFP, even though it was so long?"

Yes. Yes, I did. Hope my info was as helpful as it was confusing.

Done, no problems.
