In a selection sequence, several selection questions are shown one after the other (sub-questions). The sub-questions are displayed on the screen one by one. The options are displayed in boxes and are selected by clicking on them – the next sub-question appears immediately after this. The selection made by the participant cannot be changed afterwards.
Technically speaking, a selection sequence question is a little unusual: it does not consist of individual questions, but rather a collection of several selection questions (sub-questions). Each sub-question has a question title and possible options. Therefore, sub-questions are added to the question, instead of item – to the left in the List of Questions.
This question is ideal for measuring response times, for surveys on a smartphone, or if the questionnaire should be a little bit snazzier. The options can be arranged one below the other, side by side, or in a square.
Note: Do not input a question title for the question itself, unless this should appear above all of the sub-questions.
Note: Response time can only be measured from the second sub-question onwards. If you want to measure response times, write an explanation (or something similar) for the first sub-question, and “Next” as the option.
Note: Place the question by itself on a questionnaire page – or at least as the last question on the page. After the last sub-question has been answered, it will continue automatically to the next page in the questionnaire.
