This is a solution to a niche problem, but I was happy with it, so I'll share

If you use #Qualtrics for survey experiments you will want to share the exact survey - item wording, response options, order of items - as part of your open data, analysis code and study materials repository for all that righteous #reproducibility #OpenResearch karma

Problem is, the Qualtrics export of a survey puts each question and response option on a separate page, making the document effectively unreadable

Is #qualtrics getting enshittified? Or maybe just "we're awesome so why should we improve things?"

I've been a long-time cheerleader for Qualtrics, since they were little more than a couple of white dudes building cool stuff in Provo, UT (and their yearly subscription rate for academics was 1/4 of what it is now). Recent things that are giving me hassles of various degrees, all of which have been issues for 20-odd years:

- No "repeat headers" for slider tables
- Bipolar matrix tables are broken for mobile
- No bipolar slider tables
- Need to know arcane & bespoke CSS to adjust basic things like response option labels

And my 20-year pet peeve:

Let me use words and letters as export labels, not just numbers.

Anyway. Seems like that shit (and more) could have all been fixed sometime in the past two decades.

@Psyvacy Fraud is impossible because the surveys from qualtrics are not profitable to the survey contributors (AFAIK; fraud entails using deception to profit).

IP reputation is a crude and blunt instrument that undermines most surveys by excluding the whole demographic of digital rights proponents which silences important voices; yielding only results from people unconcerned with privacy.

The survey URLs are unique and distributed by email to solicit known individual prospective contributors through that apparently unique URL, which they can ensure only submits one ballot. That’s apparently how some of the #Qualtrics surveys work.

I’ve not done a deep dive on their business but if they are also distributing non-unique URLs to survey to many people, the questions need to be clever.

The two types of surveys obviously have different needs and challenges, so it’s probably unwise to try to use the same canned platform for both. Adding compensation complicates the approach considerably more.

A Tor-blocking CAPTCHA-pushing survey is only sensible if you actually intend to survey the demographics of tech illiterates and those apathetic about tech rights. If that demographic is inappropriate for the research, then qualtrics is unsuitable. You cannot ignore the /observer effect/. Qualtrics amplifies the observer effect with disregard.

The ironic injustice is that as I am hit with survey after survey from financial institutions, I have lots of feedback to give them about how their banking website (for example) blocks me or pushes CAPTCHA, and yet the survey itself has the same problems hindering me from participating. They sometimes say “how is our website? Take this survey… (qualtrics)…” I cannot give feedback about the ways in which their website is shitty when the survey itself is even more broken.

So in most surveys I find them to be excluding the demographic of people they most need to hear from. It’s an addiction to digital transformation. The option to send paper surveys with a prepaid return envelope is being overlooked in too many situations.

@AstaMcCarthy @proffnes

@AstaMcCarthy @proffnes It’s just crazy that someone would solve a #CAPTCHA of any kind to take a #survey. I suppose the survey pusher must be a charity that the survey taker really wants to help.

I primarily just get Qualtrics surveys from financial institutions who repeatedly nag me to take their survey. Every single time I get a 403 forbidden (Tor is blocked). So they want to force me to disclose even more personal data than the survey itself calls for, even if the survey pusher follows @renebekkers’s guide¹. Yikes.. then hearing from other ppl who can reach the site that they must solve a captcha and dance for them.. what a shit-show. Who are these ppl willing to bend over backwards to give both data and labor for nothing?

So, here is my question: how can I stop all senders (financial institutions in particular) from sharing my email address with Qualtrics? The bottom of these nags has an unsubscribe button. I generally avoid those as they signal that me email address is live. But what if I visit those unsubscribe links? Will it unsubscribe all future qualtrics nags by that sender?

…Oh shit… 403 error. So we cannot unsubscribe without compromising more data. Surely #Qualtrics violates³ the #CanSpamAct by blocking people from accessing the unsubscription mechanism.

@samweingamgee’s #privacy concern² is also notable.

Well, @#$%. I'm going to have to learn some serious JSON skills (I'll try to use R packages to make it easier) to create #surveys in #Qualtrics from text files of hundreds of items.

I wish there was an easier way, I really do. Qualtrics is already a pretty amazing platform, so it feels greedy to want this, too, but I do want it.

Once again, $@#%.

Hello, #qualtrics using peeps. I have a few hundred #quiz questions in a #csv file (one question per row, text and MC response options).

Does anyone know how I might create a Qualtrics survey out of those in a reasonably low-effort way? Maybe a way to generate a .qsf file?

I could maybe work something out in #python but it would take me a while (I'm still learning). My backup plan is program a function in R, where I have much more solid skills. Any #help

How not to collect #data on #Qualtrics: here's how to avoid #IP addresses and #geolocation data

https://renebekkers.wordpress.com/2023/07/03/how-not-to-collect-data-on-qualtrics/

Where I work they often use Word documents as “forms”, basically, a bunch of questions and empty “field” like spaces are provided to people who then fill in the Word document and email to whomever. For a particular project, instead of using Word documents as “forms” (business as usual), I designed a form in #Qualtrics and then sent out to the team to check if they would be happy to send out the proper form instead of the Word document. Here are some feedback (comment in parentheses mine):

The form looks good, but I think they’d need to type it word first and transfer it over.

I am not 100% sure that having a (up to) 6000 word application is best done on a survey tool like Qualtrics (quite forgetting that “The Word Document was a “form” with “text spaces” in it);

a few questions/observations from me; there is no spell check when you type on this survey/form can you save it (“Of course you can save a qualtrics form)

I think in the end we will go with sending the Word document, and not a form, :-)

Just found out #Qualtrics has been bought by private equity investors and they want to raise the annual fee my Psychology Department pays from £3.5k to over £20k. Bye bye Qualtrics 😞 Can't believe any UK HE department can afford such a price rise.

"DSGVO Bedenken" - Deren Homepage sieht auf jeden Fall auch schon mal noch größerem Datenhunger aus, siehe Screenshot u.a. mit Trackern von Google, Amazon, fastly u.v.m.:

Habe gerade auch diese fast aktuelle Meldung zu #Qualtrics gefunden: "SAP verkauft seine Anteile an die Private-Equity-Gesellschaft Silver Lake und den kanadischen Pensionsfonds CCP Investments"
Vielleicht ist das ja ein Anlass, sich zumindest für den nächsten Vertrag mal nach Alternativen, die in Dtld. gehostet sind, umzusehen

Maybe #Qualtrics could do it using skip logic and branching? That seems really time-consuming to create, but still less than programming from scratch? 3/3
