I think you can have people directed to different survey sections depending on their response to questions. You need to let the respondents create the randomization by their responses to a question. You can ask them to enter the last digit of their phone number, for instance. Each number can be assigned to a different vignette that they read and respond to. Don't use birthdays, but phone number last digits should be sufficiently randomly distributed to work for the study. You can collect demographics and key personality scale data to see if each group is equal on those variables to become confident the randomization was sufficient.

For example I have a student who wanted to present one of 4 different vignettes to each participant, and following the vignette would be a questionnaire about the person depicted in the vignette. This was to be a study on stereotypes, if that makes it any more clear. The problem is that Survey Monkey doesn't allow randomization so that each participant could randomly be assigned to conditions. I am trying not to be overly wordy, so I hope I'm making myself clear. Does anyone know of a work-around for this? In its own literature Survey Monkey states that it doesn't permit this kind of random assignment, but there has GOT to be a way.right?
