About Sample Quality Control

• The Sample Quality Control feature for Advanced UX Research studies applies to Navigation tasks.
• When enabled, participants who did not spend a certain time or perform a minimum of clicks in one or multiple Navigation tasks are excluded from the sample.
• When conditions or logic are applied to your tasks, this may cause participants to be marked as speeders or cheaters incorrectly.

Sample Quality Control options

Enable speeders control

• Automatically exclude participants who do not spend enough time taking a navigation task.
• For example, exclude participants who spend less than 5 seconds on 2 out of 3 tasks
  • In the example, there are 3 tasks.
  • If a participant spends 2 seconds on the first task, 3 seconds on the second one, and 15 seconds on the third one, they are considered as speeder because they spent less than 5 seconds on two of the tasks.

Enable cheaters control

• Automatically exclude participants who do not make enough clicks while taking a Navigation task.
  For example, exclude participants that do less than 2 clicks in 3 out of 3 tasks.
  • In the example, there are 3 tasks.
  • If a participant does not click in 1 task and does 1 click in the other two tasks, they completed 3 tasks with less than 2 clicks in each task and are considered a cheater.
• Cheaters Quality Control is not recommended for Mobile Web or Mobile App studies.
  • Most mobile websites and apps do not exclusively work with clicks.
  • Mobile websites and apps also work with swipes or other gestures that could not be applicable for this control and could consider participants as cheaters incorrectly.
