• Block
  • A group of related questions on a Qualtrics survey. All Qualtrics surveys must have at least one block.
• Skip Logic
  • Skips past the remaining items in a section of the survey based on some condition.
• Display Logic
  • Displays a given question to the user based on some condition.
• Branch Logic
  • Similar to Display Logic, but used when you have an one or more blocks of questions that should be displayed (or not displayed) based on some condition. Accessed under the Survey Flow window. Use this to implement Informed Consent statements, end-of-survey redirects to collect contact information for incentives, and more.
• Forced Response
  • Requires users to answer a given question before advancing to the next page.
• Request Response
  • Alerts a user if they have not answered a question, but allows them to continue to the next page without answering if they choose.
• Content Validation
  • Checks if the text entry for a question matches a certain format (e.g. numeric input, dates, phone numbers, zip codes, email addresses, …)
• Carry Forward Choices
  • The response options for a question are inherited from the user’s responses to another question. Improves user experience by only asking users to rate/rank items that are relevant to them. Pair with display logic for best results.

• Descriptive Text
  • Simple text display with no user input. Use for introduction messages or special directions.
• Multiple Choice
  • Encompasses both “Single Answer” and “Multiple “Answer” (“check all that apply”) questions.
• Text Entry
  • User enters text. Pair with content validation to assure data quality, especially when the desired response is a number (e.g. “How many years have you been teaching?”)
• Slider
  • User clicks and drags a marker along a number line. The researcher sets the minimum and maximum values for the line. Responses are recorded as numeric values. Can be used as an alternative to text entry with numeric content validation.
• Matrix Table
  • Compactly presents a table of several items that are all answered on the same scale. Often used with Likert scales, but can also use text entry or constant sums.
• Constant Sum
  • User enters numeric values that are then summed to get the total. In order to make sense, the numeric values being captured must have the same units. Example: “In the last week, how many hours did you spend on: 1. Replying to emails? 2. Grading? 3. Planning lessons?”
• Rank Order
  • Users are shown a list of items and must order them from “top” (1) to bottom (last).
• Timer
  • Records how long a user has spent on a given page of the survey and how many times they have interacted with it (number of clicks). Useful for estimating how long it takes to respond to labor-intensive questions, as well as detecting if respondents are satisficing.
