Psychstudio news - December 2019

In the past month we've added the following new features:

• Contextual help. Now you can get in-application help when and where you need it by using the need help? links.
• A new list ranking question type. Ranking can be done by selecting the order from dropdown boxes, or by dragging and dropping to re-arrange the list.

New articles:

• Why do participants drop out of online surveys and experiments? Explores the likely causes for participant drop out and how to measure it, and proposes strategies for reducing your drop out rate.
• Is it time to rethink incentives for research participation? Commentary on the ethical debate surrounding pay rates for online research participants, and my take on why I think the New York Times (and others) have overlooked some important issues.

Finally, a reminder. The Psychstudio beta program of free account and unlimited support for the calendar year is ending soon! Please, if you have used Psychstudio, now is the time to send some feedback!

As always, if you'd like to request a feature, discuss an experiment's design, or if you have any questions about how to implement something, please email me at ben@psychstudio.com or reply to this email. Alternatively, you can contact or follow me on twitter.
