Welcome, Researchers! This guide is all about how you can use FindingFive’s new feature to offer course credits as rewards in your studies. This innovative approach not only simplifies management for admins but also provides an excellent way for researchers to offer non-monetary rewards for participation in their studies, especially when funding is tight. Let’s dive into how you can…
Researchers can sign up for individual accounts on FindingFive, but sometimes it is more desirable to create a “lab account” so that participants can see which lab is recruiting them instead of the individual researchers. In addition, it is often easier to centralize participant reward payments and/or session fee invoices in a single lab account for management purposes. In this…
Why are we making changes? A Letter from the Executive Director As a nonprofit organization established in 2018 to accelerate online behavioral research, FindingFive’s original plan was to be a niche player: we had (and still have) no intention to be a direct competitor to big names like Qualtrics. Instead, we wanted to make the life of researchers who run…

Step 1: Create Your Studies The first step is to create one study for each part of the overall experiment. This means that if your experimental design involves collecting baseline data and follow-up data, code separate baseline and follow-up…
FindingFive supports conditional branching, a study design that allows researchers to branch participants based on their performance in an earlier block. This feature involves a few steps, but once you get the hang of it, can be used to achieve a wide range of dynamic study designs! Examples include terminating a study for some participants sooner than others or branching…
What do all these numbers and letters mean on my results CSV file? In this tutorial, we’ll tell you how to interpret your output! Format CSV results are organized in long format. This means each participant will occupy several rows in your data–one row for each response in your study. If there are multiple responses on a single trial, you’ll…
Several months ago, we announced the winners of two FindingFive research awards, generously sponsored by Qntfy! The award recipients have since completed their projects, and we’re excited to share their results. HyeonAh Kang, PhD Candidate (University of Arizona) investigated the benefits of an output activity (OA)–a task in which language learners read or listen to a text containing target vocabulary…
