1. Qualtrics Beginner Tutorial

Introduction to Qualtrics

This section provides an introduction to Qualtrics, covering topics such as setting up and organizing a survey, creating questions, different question types, labeling questions and responses, and simple survey distributions.

Creating a New Project

To create a new project in Qualtrics, select the option for a new blank project.

Alternatively, you can create a project from a library or copy an existing survey.

You can also create a project from a file in Qualtrics survey format.

Organizing Your Survey

Use blocks in Qualtrics to organize and edit your survey.

Blocks help chunk content into categories for easy organization.

Start with creating a block for the consent form.

Creating the Consent Form

Change the question type to multiple-choice questions for the consent form.

Write or copy and paste the consent form text into the question text box.

Adjust the number of choices if needed by adding or subtracting options.

Label the choices accordingly (e.g., "Yes I consent" and "No I do not consent").

Enable force response to ensure participants answer this question before proceeding.

Adding Demographic Questions

Create another block for demographic questions.

Use multiple-choice question type for demographic questions like ethnicity.

Edit multiple choices simultaneously if you have many options.

Add additional demographic questions like age using text entry question type.

Controlling Participant Responses

Control participant responses by setting minimum and maximum allowable characters for text entry questions like age.

For example, set minimum and maximum characters to 2 without allowing decimals.

Introducing Personality Measures

Create another block for personality measures section in your survey.

Use descriptive text to introduce this section to participants.

The transcript is already in English.

Understanding the Big Five Personality Inventory

In this section, the speaker discusses the Big Five Personality Inventory and its five scale points. They also mention the need to use a Likert matrix type for this inventory.

The Big Five Personality Traits

The first trait is being reserved.

The second trait is being generally trusting.

The third trait is tending to be lazy.

These are just a few examples from the Big Five in the Big Five Personality Inventory.

Using Likert Matrix Type

Qualtrics provides an agreement scale option that aligns with the Big Five scale.

Pressing the reverse button ensures consistency as the Big Five scale is reversed compared to Qualtrics' default option.

The default scale in Qualtrics is a seven-point scale, but it can be changed on the right-hand toolbar.

Labeling Blocks and Questions

It's recommended to label blocks and questions for easier understanding of exported data.

Hover over current labels and click to change them.

Example labels: "Consent" for the first block, "Demographics" for the second block, and "Big Five Inventory" (labeled as "BFI") for the third block.

Recode Labels

Consider changing recode labels to make exported data easier to read.

Click on the settings wheel and select "Recode Values."

Double-check that Likert labels align with your needs before exporting.

Distributing Your Survey

This section focuses on distributing surveys using Qualtrics' distribution options. It covers composing emails, creating contact lists, generating anonymous links, and concludes with a summary of beginner-level information.

Composing Emails

Use Qualtrics' email composition option to distribute surveys via email.

Create a contact list for multiple recipients by pressing "New Contact List" and entering their information.

The "From Address" and "From Name" boxes will automatically populate with your information.

Generating Anonymous Links

Qualtrics allows you to generate anonymous links for survey distribution.

These links can be pasted into emails, Facebook statuses, or MTurk.

Conclusion

This summary provides an overview of the Big Five Personality Inventory, including its traits and the use of Likert matrix type. It also covers labeling blocks and questions, adjusting recode labels, and distributing surveys using Qualtrics' options.
