Paragraph Question Block

The paragraph question type is a type of open-ended question used in UX research to gather detailed, qualitative feedback from users. In this question type, respondents are asked to provide a detailed response to a question or prompt in the form of a paragraph. Paragraph questions are useful for gathering detailed feedback, opinions, and suggestions from users, which can help inform the design process and improve the user experience.

Paragraph questions offer several advantages in UX research, including:

  • Detailed feedback: Paragraph questions allow users to provide detailed feedback, which can help researchers gain a deeper understanding of user needs and preferences. Eg. Tell us about your experience using our product. What did you like about it?
  • Unbiased responses: Open-ended questions like paragraph questions allow users to provide unbiased responses, as they are not limited to a set of predefined answer options. Eg. Was the navigation easy to use? Were there any features that you found difficult to access? What could we do to improve the app?
  • Insights into user behaviour: Paragraph questions can provide insights into user behaviour, preferences, and motivations, which can help inform the design process.
  • Personalization: Paragraph questions can be customized to suit the needs of the researcher and tailored to the specific user group being studied.

Properties

  • Required: The respondent will not be able to move to another question without answering the question.
  • Max Character: The default character limit is 500. If you want to increase or decrease the limit, use this setting.

Best Practices

  • Use clear and concise language: Use clear and concise language when writing paragraph questions to ensure that participants understand the question and are able to provide accurate and meaningful responses.
  • Keep questions focused: Keep the questions focused on a specific topic or area of interest to avoid overwhelming participants with too many questions at once. This helps to ensure that respondents stay engaged and focused on the task at hand.
  • Use follow-up questions: Consider using follow-up questions to clarify responses or ask for additional details. This can help researchers gain a deeper understanding of participant feedback and identify key areas for improvement.
  • Test the questions: Before using paragraph questions in a larger study, it's a good idea to test them with a small group of participants to ensure that they are effective and produce meaningful responses. This can help researchers refine the questions and make them more effective for the larger study.
