The respondent experience
Understand what people see, what they agree to, and how to check the journey.
Introduction and consent
Respondents open the link supplied for the study. The introduction explains the research and participation choices. Screening checks whether the person meets the study's criteria before the main interview or tasks.
Participation consent and permission to record or retain media have distinct purposes. Review the exact introduction and choices in preview. See Privacy and consent.
Interview and tasks
The design can combine voice-led discussion and structured questions. Written participation depends on the configured experience. Test the selected mode, required answers and transitions on the devices your audience will use.
For image or video tasks, check the file requirements, consent wording and whether the task is optional. Only include a media task in live fieldwork once storage and processing have been verified for that deployment.
Test the whole journey
- Accept and decline each permission offered.
- Try eligible and ineligible screener answers.
- Check concept/media loading and required-answer validation.
- Interrupt the connection, return through the same link and check recovery.
- Complete the study and check the final receipt and any withdrawal path.
Microphone permission is a browser choice. It does not replace consent to participate in research. Keep instructions clear when a browser blocks recording.
