1 What are skip patterns?

Skip patterns are also known as branching logic, conditional logic, or routing. They are a set of rules that determine which questions or sections of your questionnaire are displayed to each respondent, depending on their previous responses. For example, if you ask a question about whether someone has a pet, and they answer no, you can skip the following questions about the type, name, and age of their pet. This way, you only ask relevant questions that apply to each respondent's situation.

2 Why use skip patterns?

Skip patterns provide several advantages for your questionnaire design and market research. You can save time and resources by minimizing the length and complexity of your questionnaire, as well as avoiding unnecessary data collection and analysis. Additionally, skip patterns can increase response rates and engagement by making your questionnaire more user-friendly, personalized, and respectful of respondents' time and privacy. Moreover, they can reduce bias and error by avoiding questions that might lead to inaccurate or missing data, or affect respondents' attitudes and behaviors. Lastly, you can segment and target your respondents by creating different paths or scenarios based on their characteristics, preferences, or behaviors.

3 How to use skip patterns?

To use skip patterns effectively, you must plan and test your questionnaire thoroughly. Start by defining your research objectives and questions, as well as mapping out the logic and flow of the questionnaire. Choose a software tool or platform that supports skip patterns, such as SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, or Google Forms. Select the appropriate options and settings for your skip rules. Test your questionnaire for any errors, inconsistencies, or gaps in the skip logic. Ensure that it works well on different devices and browsers so that respondents can easily navigate and complete it.

4 Best practices for skip patterns

To ensure that your skip patterns are effective and do not compromise the quality or validity of your data, it is important to follow some best practices. Use clear and simple language for questions and answers, and avoid ambiguity or jargon. Skip patterns should be used sparingly and strategically, and only when necessary. Provide feedback and instructions for respondents, and explain why you are skipping or showing certain questions or sections. Consider the potential impact of your skip patterns on data analysis and interpretation; skipping questions can reduce data collected, but asking questions can provide more information but also introduce more noise and variability in your data. Ultimately, you must balance the trade-off between skipping and asking questions.

5 Examples of skip patterns

Skip patterns can be used in various types of market research. For instance, if a customer satisfaction survey asks about satisfaction levels with a product or service, follow-up questions about dissatisfaction or suggestions for improvement can be skipped if the respondent answers 'very satisfied' or 'extremely satisfied'. Similarly, in a product testing survey, if the respondent has used or heard of the product before, questions about awareness and familiarity can be skipped and replaced with questions about interest and intention if they answer 'no'. Finally, in a market segmentation survey, different questions or sections can be shown based on the age group of the respondents, such as their lifestyle, preferences, or needs.
