I am trying to find a website that offers more options than Survey Monkey. I have created a survey with vignettes depicting scenes between two people, but I need potential participants to receive (at random) vignettes that vary the gender of the two people in each story. Basically, I have two different versions of the same vignettes and I need some participants to take version 1 and some to take version 2. Survey Monkey only offers the ability to randomize answer choices.

Does anyone know of an alternative to Survey Monkey that might be more sophisticated?

You can actually use SurveryMonkey to do this. But, you have to first think of some question that participants would answer that would then send them to one of the two conditions. For example, month of birth (all even numbered months go to condition 1, odd numbered months go to condition 2).

Limesurvey looks pretty good, especially if you get a good amount of free web space and bandwidth through your school.
 
you could always create two different versions of the same survey, so survey 1 would be the male gender and survey 2 the female version, and then randomly assign people to them. (there's a way to create a survey based on an existing one you have already created, so you dont have to do all the work twice). i had to create something recently with 2 levels of my iv, and that's how i ended up doing it. my very sophisticated random assignment involves flipping a coin 😳
 
I should add-limesurvey itself is free. If you have sufficient webspace through your school, it's completely free.
 
surveymethods?

If you know HTML, ultraedit is a great program for creating surveys.
 
I've been using the Google Docs Survey option, it's pretty easy to use.
 
If you know anyone on-campus who has it, we've used SSIWeb for some fairly complicated stuff in the past (and still use it for just about everything...). 👍
 
+ 1 more for Qualtrics. We use it in our lab and it is very user friendly and easy to randomize.
 
Not to highjack the thread--- but anyone know of a survey website that allows you to exclude / include users by country (based on something like IP address)?

I believe Mechanical Turk allows you to do this...
 
Another online survey question....

Does anyone know of an online survey system that allows the researchers to receive automated messages/notifications if, let's say, someone scores a certain number on a measure? I've usually had to create these from scratch before - but figure I would double check that I wasn't missing any easier method.
