#26 Randomisation
Response codes inside a question should be possible to
randomise.
There is a psychological effect on people to
influence the human mind to read from top to bottom. This means in
a multiple question for instance, the top codes will most likely have
a "bias" to be more clicked in rather than low response codes (top
would mean higher up on the screen).
So what should be
done here is the option of having a randomisation box so question
get's randomised. Also important here is that some items must be
able to be kept in bottom such as "None of the above" or "Refuse to
Answer" or "don't know". So here as in the other request there
would be a need for a "no control" of certain items, or should it be
called "not randomised"?

so what you're saying is that people are too lazy to read the
options and tend to just tick/select the uppermost choices. If
that's the case, how does randomising the choices to a
question solve anything?

Any researcher knows that the first questions you ask in a survey tend to
get "higher quality" than questions asked later in the questionnaire. The
more questions you push someone to answer, the more it effects the
quality...
So why do you randomise then?
Let's say you
have 5 different questions to benchmark a product on different variables
that might interfer. On a phone for instance that would be perhaps
batteries, design, size, functionality....
If they are not
randomised and you do a regression analysis afterwards, the values will
be messed up. However if you do randomisation, you know that the bias
will be equal on all of the questions asked and you can therefor make a
more correct analysis.
Would that answer your question?

well; it would change the result exactly because of the fact
that this laziness only kicks in after a couple of questions.

I also require the same randomization functionality fro the
same reason.
