Group: B_20/21 Some insights into our ongoing online study

Together with Group A we started to carry out the online study on 22.01.2021 which is published on a personal student website of one group member. Therefore, we sent out a request asking for participants on GRIPS and Facebook. (We also reminded them that we are closing the study for public on 07.02.2021).

For the questionnaires we used several kinds of questions such as multiple choice, open questions, and tasks in which the subjects have to assign individual elements to each other. Before publishing the study, we asked 5 people nearby to fill out the questionnaire so that the questions will not be too easy or too hard to answer.

As stated before, we need a multiple number of 36 participants to ensure that our conditions are evenly distributed and accomplished. We decided to stop at 72 participants. Currently we are waiting for the last 3 subjects to finish our study as our valid number of participants stopped at 69. These will be performed by people we know on an extra website. Unfortunately, some people did not finish the questionnaire, so we had to repeat the run with the same conditions.

At the same time, we started correcting the present answers which will later be completed by the missing ones. We left out incomplete questionnaires and marked duplicate answers. For the time being we reviewed the responses and calculates the average value of right answers per question and per questionnaire.
