28. Eyes Don’t Lie ‐ Implications
1. We must return to the usability principles which guided
paper survey design, not CATI design, to maximize
confidence in our data, and business decisions.
2. There are ways to make all quesPons/surveys more
appealing, intuiPve and future‐relevant, but these
improvements must not introduce new forms of bias and
should be tested before being fielded for the first Pme.
3. As an industry, we must devise and reinforce best
pracPces for online research interfaces, like we have for
so many elements of the research process.
29. Eyes Don’t Lie ‐ Implications
4. Responsible Innova0on is key to successful evoluPon
of web‐based interfaces.
• Decide who has the responsibility for respondent
usability, and provide them with the appropriate
skill set.
• Involve survey takers in the design process.
5. Simply thinking about these issues, and making small
changes will ensure healthier, longer‐term Online
research.
