Hello there,

I conducted a survey in which I wanted to randomize the question order within a specific group, so in "Randomization Group Name" i wrote "1" for that group. Now I want to analyse, if the order of questions has had an effect on the answer. Where do I find information regarding the positioning of questions per respondent? (eg. Respondent 1 had question order 2-3-1) I do not see it in the data, is it possible?

Thanks already,
Johann

Hi, Johann,
nowhere.
Because you assume that there is an effect, you do the randomization to avoid a bias.
Nothing else.

If you wanted to analyze the effect of the order of the questions/groups you should have included some more things, like the use of ".qseq" or ".gseq"
E.g. questions of type equation that store this, {Q1.gseq}

As you see here
manual.limesurvey.org/ExpressionScript_-...#Access_to_variables these properties return the sequential number of a question/group.

Or you should have displayed the groups in predefined orders to be able to analyze this effect.

Sorry, but you did not test your survey. Then you'd have seen that there are no informations about the random order in the dataset.

Thanks for the quick answer! You are right, I should have tested the survey for this. It is the first time I am using it so I guess this is what we call "learning money" in Germany...
But as you said, since it is randomized, the effect is neutralized anyways. I just wanted to make sure it worked. Next time I will equations.
Thanks, Johann

War da nicht mal was mit dem "seed" Wert und dass man über diesen die Reihenfolge rausfinden kann?
Habe da leider nur was im Hinterkopf.
