Here are some tips on how to use matrix grid in your surveys, straight from our survey experts:<\/p>\n
1. Group questions with similar answer options in a matrix-grid to reduce your survey\u2019s length.<\/p>\n
2. Avoid matrix grid questions with more than five rows. When presented a grid with many rows, respondents usually tend to choose the same response for every sub-question.<\/p>\n
3. You can limit the number of sub-questions in a matrix grid by getting rid of topics of low priority or by incorporating skip logic.<\/p>\n
4. Use different background colors for alternate rows of a matrix grid question. It makes it easier for participants to focus on individual sub-questions.<\/p>\n
5. Avoid matrix grid questions when designing surveys for mobile devices. They come with extra horizontal space, which can frustrate participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
