Researchers conducting online surveys typically use Qualtrics. Qualtrics can create surveys containing Likert type responses (e.g. from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree) as well as free text questions for collection of qualitative data. It can also present a wide range of stimuli such as images and videos, as well as randomise parts of the survey to ensure your participants are not responding in a biased way.

To create a Qualtrics account please follow the steps in the  Creating a Qualtrics Account document

(Please Note: The sign-up link attached is for those within the School of Humanities and Social Science. If you require a Qualtrics account and you are within another school at the university, please contact your School Office to obtain your schools unique sign-up link).

Here are a few documents that provide additional guidance for online recruitment. If you’re a psychology student, please note that these documents are meant to be used as an addition to the online recruitment workshop that you would have attended. Your study won’t go live until you request approval from your supervisor, so please feel free to experiment as soon as you have your account.

If you have questions or need additional guidance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
