Your path
Create the study
Title, purpose, ethics reference and a retention period. The purpose has to be specific enough for a respondent to know what they are agreeing to.
Build the questionnaire
The Studio has an item bank of validated scales you can insert whole, with the reverse-scored items already marked.
Open collection and share the link
Twelve NDPA conditions are checked before the first respondent. Fix what it names and the gate opens.
Analyse
Choose what you want to find out. Assumption checks run whether or not you ask, and the wrong test is refused.
Export the chapter
APA 7 tables and sentences in Word, with the Method section assembled from what the study already recorded.
