Welcome to r/SampleSize, a community dedicated to scientific, fun, and creative surveys produced for and by redditors! We know the sidebar is long, but it is informative - please give it a read!
This community is welcoming; hate speech and abusiveness will never be tolerated. Offenders will be banned at the discretion of the mods.
Guidelines
Titles must be properly formatted.
[Tag] Topic (Demographic)
If your title doesn't match up with the guidelines it will be removed.
Reposting
Please feel free to repost your survey after 24 hours have passed, AND it has fallen off of the front page.
Gender / Sex
When asking about gender or sex, include "another gender" and/or a "fill in the blank" option if your demographic is for (Everyone).
Race / Ethnicity
If you are asking about race and/or ethnicity in your survey, please know the differences between them.
Ethical implications and consent
Don't forget to consider ethical implications and consent for your research.
Commenting and Behaviour
Please refrain from soliciting participants in the comments section of other surveys.
Flair for Posts
You can tag your surveys as [Casual] [Academic] or [Marketing] and then people can search on them!
Everybody likes to see survey results! If you are able to post the results of your survey, please use a [Results] tag on that post, and please use link flair on your results. Just click on the "flair" link underneath your post to get this dialog box and select "Results".
We are now awarding user flair for those who take the time to post some interesting results. If you posted prior to the implementation, or if we missed your results post, message the mods with a link to your results submission.
Resources
Self Post vs. Survey
Post your survey using a survey tool instead of merely asking a question in a text-only post. People are more likely to respond!
We've made a list of commonly used survey tools in our wiki to give you some ideas of resources you can use to make surveys. We make no guarantees or endorsements for any of these!
