Measure time spent on a page

[Aniko Maraz]

Hello Everyone, 

I was wondering if I can measure how much time participants spend "in between submits" in a survey.  Take a snapshot of their server's time when hitting the 1st submit button, and another when they hit the 2nd submit? How exactly do I do that?

My aim is to check how much time they spend on the given page to watch a video (if they spend less time than the length of the video, it indicates that they did not watch it, and so I'll remove them later from the data). 

Thanks!

Aniko

Hi Aniko,

for this you can use the item display data. If you go to the results of your survey, top right. You can subtract e.g. shown_relative from answered_relative for the client-side measure (javascript, sub-millisecond precision, could be faked although your participants probably won't care enough). Or use answered/shown if your participants may have old browsers that don't support sub-millisecond precision.

survey <- survey %>% 

  mutate(

    time_to_response = answered_relative - shown_relative

)

It may take a while to download this data, if you have a big sample.

Best,

Ruben

Hi Ruben, 

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! :)  I didn't know formr records this information by default.
