I notice that the fact that I can't see all the questions on one page makes me feel more averse towards taking this survey. It makes me feel like there's a potentially infinite amount of content to be answered, lurking out of sight, whereas if it was all one page I'd always be clear on how many more questions there were left.
This format also makes it hard to answer questions out of order, skipping a hard one until I'm done with all the easy ones.
this is a trade off that we make for partially completed survey data. On the one hand; the total number of questions was mentioned at the start (maybe could have been highlighted more), and there is a progress bar at the top of each page. I agree that this is not idea; does the trade off make more sense now?
Not sure what you mean by that?
But thanks for mentioning the progress bar, I didn't notice it at first. That helps somewhat.
It took me a while to notice the progress bar.
we get partially completed data from every page submitted; if the survey is not completed.
