Test-retest reliability design: How can I measure participants?
April 23, 2013 7:12 AM Subscribe
I am conducting a study in which I want to administer the same questionnaire to participants at two times (one week apart). I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do this all online, either through SONA software (which is accessible to me) or through some other software that I could link to from SONA. Thanks for your help!
Pertinent details:
- I will be administering the same questionnaire twice, with a one-week interval between administrations.
-I need some way to track participants in order to compare their first questionnaire to their second one. Maybe a confidential participant code that they could enter at each administration.
- I will be using SONA participant pool in order to recruit participants. I am hoping to be able to have them just click a link, take the survey, and then receive an email a week later prompting them to take the survey again.
If anyone has done this or has insight into SONA or other software that could help me achieve this, I'd love to hear from you!

I would suggest taking a look at Qualtrics, which is an online survey software program. You can import a "panel" of your participants (exported from SONA?) and then schedule the same questionnaire to be emailed to them twice, at one week apart, very easily. The software itself will link the two surveys by a respondent ID code.
Depending upon the number of people involved, the cost to access Qualtrics may differ.
I imagine there are other online survey software programs out there that also would work, but my university uses Qualtrics because it has some pretty awesome bells and whistles and very good customer support.
I suggest setting up a free account and/or digging around on their support pages to see if this might be a useful solution for you.
