What are Participants?

Updated: 07, Tue, 2023 03:53 PM

Participants are the people who are taking part in your study.

Participants are also known as:

  • respondents
  • subjects
  • human subjects
  • human test subjects
  • experiment participants
  • experiment subjects
  • research participants
  • research respondents
  • research subjects
  • trial participants
  • trial subjects
  • test subjects
  • study participants
  • study respondents
  • survey respondents
  • survey participants

In all cases they are a person who participates in human subject research as the target of observation by researchers.

Positly allows you to study Participants online through primary research Activities such as surveys and online experiments. When you create a Run you are able to target Participants using various attributes such as Demographics, Custom attributes, Quality filters, and Previous participation.

When Participants take part in your study they opt-in to sharing data with the researcher such as anonymised identifiers and Demographic attributes. Demographic attributes can be shared dynamically using Query string attributes or downloaded manually from the Participants tab within your Run.

You can view and manage the Participants on the Participants tab within your Run.
