How do GroupSolver choice questions work?

Choice questions on the GroupSolver platform function very similarly to other research platforms. A choice question on our platform will appear to respondents like this:

Creating a Choice Question

Once you select the "+" and create your Choice question, a text box will appear on the left side of the Study design.

Start typing your question inside the Question box. You may modify the "seconds to read" portion if you'd like to force respondents to spend more time reading the text before being shown the options. The default is always 1 second.

Note: We recommend 1-3 seconds for each sentence in the question.

You may add/upload stimuli by clicking on the "Media Manager" icon. You can upload any images, videos, gifs, etc., relevant to your Choice question.

Options

Once your question is created, click on "Options" to add your question options and customize it to your liking.

The dashboard will give your question a generic name. To ease navigation in the future, make sure to give your module a unique identifier in "Display name."

Question format

For your question format, you can pick one of 4 options:

  1. List - standard list of options.

  2. Dropdown with search - search field, options will drop down after click

  3. Image choice - options will include images with labels.

  4. Image choice without labels - options will include images without labels.

Note: The image choice question allows you to accompany your options with visuals. Add them by clicking on the "Media Manager" icon.

Option label

The Option label is the list of options for a particular question. To enter a name for the option, click in the text field and start writing.

Clicking on "three dots" next to the option name will give you the following options:

  1. Randomize/pin option

  2. Add option above/below.

  3. Remove option

The Code is a numerical value automatically assigned to each option in the choice questions. You can change this number manually. If you want to reset the codes, click the "recycle button."

Clicking the down-facing arrow will open more options to edit:

  • Shortname - the shortened name of an option to give more visual quality while building a study

Adding a new option

If you want to add a new option, click "Add option."

Clicking "Add "None of these" options" will quickly create an option with a "None of these" label.

You also may paste your options from Excel by selecting an Option and then pasting. All option types must be presented in different cells, and you also need to remove any formatting (bullets or numbered lists).

If you want a multi-select question, use the "MAX _ of options allowed to choose" slider. You can also insert a minimum number of options respondents must choose.

Select the "Mark as trap question" toggle if you want to create your trap question to filter out respondents.

Import options from a List module

You can create Choice questions with dynamic options based on List modules existing in the study.

Follow these steps:

  1. Add a Choice question (Image choice is not supported at the moment),

  2. Switch to the Options tab.

  3. Toggle on "Forward options from list."

  4. Select an existing list.

  5. Optional: Select which unique list column should be used as an option label. The list item identifier column is selected by default,

  6. Optional: Enable "None of these" and set its label.

The choice question in the Study design displays a choice option for every item in the original uploaded file. Still, only options included in the filtered list are presented to the respondent ("None of these" is also presented when enabled).

Note: You can use generated choice options in the Study design and Segment condition builder.

More options

Clicking the three dots on the top right side of the panel will open more options:

  1. Duplicate

  2. Expand/Collapse all

  3. Randomize all options

  4. Reset code values

  5. Create template from question
