Public Attitudes on Gender Equality & Policy Survey
Measures how people perceive progress on gender equality, which policy issues they think deserve attention, and whether they've personally experienced unfair treatment. Built for researchers, advocacy groups, and pollsters tracking public opinion, with an AI follow-up that digs into the personal reasoning and lived experience behind the numbers.

Explore the reasoning behind the respondent's top-priority policy issue from the trade-off ranking: ask for a concrete example or story that shaped their view, and probe what specific change would signal real progress to them. If they reported personally experiencing unfair treatment based on gender, gently ask what happened and how it shaped their views on the priority issues. If their answers seem in tension (for example, seeing major progress on equality but ranking every policy issue as urgent), surface that tension respectfully and ask them to reconcile it.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond static rating questions with an AI follow-up interview that probes the reasoning behind each respondent's top-priority policy issue, capturing lived experience in their own words
- Combines structured measurement (opinion scales, matrix agreement, max-diff prioritization) with an open-ended personal-treatment question, so quantitative and qualitative data come from the same respondent
- Includes demographic questions (gender identity, age, political leaning, education) needed to compare subgroups, framed transparently to respondents as being used for comparison across groups
- Prompts and follow-up logic are transparent and reviewable, and results roll up into an auto-generated report rather than a raw export you have to analyze yourself
Jotform
Gender Equality Survey Form TemplateA ready-to-field, customizable form covering gender equality perceptions. It's a straightforward static questionnaire built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder, useful for quick deployment but not built specifically for opinion-tracking or policy research.
What it does well
- Easy to customize and brand within Jotform's form builder
- Fast to deploy for basic data collection
- Familiar interface for respondents
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive follow-up to probe individual reasoning
- No built-in AI interview or voice interview capability
- No automated per-response quality scoring or research-oriented reporting
SurveyMonkey
Gender And Politics Survey TemplateA fielding-ready template from an established survey platform with strong distribution and analytics tools. It's designed for broad opinion polling rather than deep qualitative follow-up on individual respondents' reasoning.
What it does well
- Backed by a mature survey platform with wide respondent panel access
- Built-in analytics dashboards for aggregate reporting
- Established brand trusted for public opinion research
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up questions to explore why respondents hold particular views
- No voice AI interview option for richer qualitative capture
- Prompt/methodology transparency is not published for its templates
QuestionPro
Gender Discrimination Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateReads primarily as a sample questionnaire and guide to gender discrimination survey questions rather than a polished, fielding-ready template. Useful as a reference for question wording, but researchers would need to build out the actual survey flow themselves.
What it does well
- Provides sample question wording specifically focused on discrimination experiences
- Offered within a broader survey platform with standard question types
- Positioned as a reference guide for constructing this kind of survey
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview or guided follow-up on lived experience, just static sample questions
- No automated quality scoring of open-ended responses
- No auto-generated report tying qualitative reasoning to quantitative results
