Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Computer Science
  • Web Development

Background:

  • Traditional methods for creating online surveys and experimental designs can be time-consuming and require technical expertise.
  • There is a growing need for accessible tools to facilitate web-based data collection and research administration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce SurveyWiz and FactorWiz, two web page wizards designed to streamline the creation of HTML forms for data collection.
  • To provide researchers and students with efficient tools for developing online surveys and complex factorial experimental designs.

Main Methods:

  • SurveyWiz allows users to input survey questions and personality test items using text boxes and radio button scales, with options to add demographic questions.
  • FactorWiz generates HTML for within-subjects, two-factor designs (up to 9x9) or higher-order factorial designs (up to 81 cells), supporting text, images, or multimedia stimuli.

  • Both programs output HTML code that can be saved, uploaded to a web server, and utilized with CGI scripts for server-side data collection and processing.

    • Main Results:

    • SurveyWiz and FactorWiz successfully generate functional HTML forms for online data collection.
    • The tools enable the creation of diverse survey types and complex factorial experimental designs with varying stimulus types.
    • The generated web pages, when deployed with CGI scripts, facilitate automated data collection, coding, and saving on a server.

    Conclusions:

    • SurveyWiz and FactorWiz offer valuable, user-friendly solutions for researchers and students to rapidly develop and administer studies online.
    • These tools significantly reduce the technical barrier to entry for creating web-based surveys and experiments, promoting wider adoption of online research methodologies.
