What does "Response Validation" do in a Qualtrics survey?

Response Validation in a Qualtrics survey is designed to ensure that the responses collected from participants meet certain criteria or rules set by the survey creator. By implementing validation rules, you can control the type of answers that respondents can submit, ensuring that the data collected is both relevant and of high quality.

For example, if you are collecting numerical data, Response Validation can require that the input be a number within a specified range. Similarly, if you are asking for a specific choice from a dropdown menu or multiple-choice question, validation can ensure that respondents only select from the provided options, thereby minimizing the likelihood of errors or irrelevant responses.

This feature is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the data collected, allowing researchers and organizations to make informed decisions based on reliable and accurate information. The other options relate to different aspects of survey management but do not pertain to the validation of responses. Reminders, tracking completion rates, and randomizing question order serve different functions in the survey process.
