Q09
AI Interview
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's privacy setting choice and their self-reported authenticity rating. Ask for a specific recent example of something they chose to include, hide, or delete from their profile and why. If they said they're 'not sure' about who sees their profile, explore whether that uncertainty causes any discomfort. If their authenticity rating was low, ask what gap exists between the profile and their real life, and whether that's intentional.

That's everything — thank you for sharing how you use your profile! Your responses will feed into a study on real-world profile habits and self-presentation, reported only in aggregate.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
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
- Includes an adaptive AI follow-up interview that probes the actual reasoning behind each respondent's privacy settings and self-presentation choices, not just what box they checked
- Combines closed-format questions (multiple choice, matrix, ranking, constant sum) with open-ended AI-driven follow-up, so you get both quantifiable patterns and the 'why' behind them
- Covers the full profile lifecycle in one flow — purpose, update frequency, satisfaction with profile parts, perceived authenticity, visibility settings, time-use allocation, and ranked priorities — rather than a single-angle questionnaire
- Produces an automated report and uses transparent, reviewable AI prompts, so researchers can audit exactly what the AI asked and why
SurveyMonkey
Facebook Profile Survey TemplateA ready-to-field template covering general Facebook profile usage and habits. It's a straightforward static questionnaire aimed at broad usage insights rather than deep motivational research. Good for quick benchmarking, less suited to understanding the reasoning behind specific privacy or self-presentation decisions.
What it does well
- Fielding-ready template that can be deployed immediately
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's established survey distribution and panel infrastructure
- Simple, familiar format for respondents
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up questioning — all respondents get the same fixed question set regardless of their answers
- No mechanism to probe the 'why' behind privacy or self-presentation choices in real time
- No published prompt-level methodology or per-response quality scoring
