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.

Could you randomly assign people to groups and then send them to a different 
Survey Monkey URL depending on the group they are in?

Hi,

I have a question about using Survey Monkey to collect certain types of data. 
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?

Thanks in advance,

Carol
