*If you are adding a survey not published by Mind Garden, you must (1) provide the full assessment (instructions, questions, and response format), (2) provide evidence that you have permission to use the instrument, and (3) provide accurate copyright information for the instrument. (Advice on seeking permission to use an instrument is at https://uhcl.libguides.com/dissertation/permissions.)

1. Email us the name of the survey you will customize (e.g., MLQ-360, MBI-HSS) and the exact text/features you wish to add. These materials must be in a text-editable format (no scans).

2. We send you a firm estimate based on this content. The customization cost is separate from the license cost.

3. Pay for the customizations.

4. We complete your custom form within 5 business days. Then we email you a link to preview your survey. For more extensive customizations, this period may be longer.

5. Preview your custom survey and approve or request edits. Your customization payment includes two editing sessions after the first draft; any additional sessions may be charged at a minimum $50 fee each. Excessive edits may require redesign and may be charged at design rates.

6. We email you instructions to complete a live test of your custom survey. In a live test, you view and complete the survey as if you are a participant. This is your last chance to request edits on your custom survey.

7. Purchase Transform Survey Hosting data licenses for the Mind Garden instrument you chose to customize. When you log into Transform, select your custom survey form and follow the directions to set up your survey campaign and invite your participants.

Form customization starts at $200. Total price is based on the quantity and type of content you wish to add. Custom questions range from $10-20 each. We can also add informed consent, non- Mind Garden surveys, and scale scoring for additional fees. The customization price does not include the price of Transform Survey Hosting data licenses. Form customization is complimentary for orders over $2,000.*

*Applies to custom forms with 50 or fewer new items and no skip logic. Applies to online form customization only; does not apply to report customization.

**A scale structure is the response option (or rating scale) that a participant uses to respond to an item. Examples of different scale structures include:

• Strongly agree – Agree – Neither agree nor disagree – Disagree – Strongly disagree
• Frequently, if not always – Often – Sometimes – Rarely – Never
• Yes – No

If you are adding multiple items with the same scale structure, we charge $100 for every 25 items.

• For example, if you are adding 15 items with “Yes/No” response, your cost is $100 because they all use the same “Yes/No” scale structure (do not count this as 15*$10).
• For example, if you are adding 10 items with the “Strongly agree – Strong disagree” scale structure and 15 items with the “Frequently, if not always – Never” scale structure, your cost is $200 because they use two different scale structures.
• For example, if you are adding 35 items with the “Strongly agree – Strongly disagree” scale structure, your cost is $200 because you are charged $100 for the first 25 items and another $100 for the next 10 items.

***A scale is a how the survey breaks up and groups item score calculations. Examples of scales include:

• Maslach Burnout Inventory scales: Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, Professional Accomplishment (3 scales)
• Work Self-Efficacy Inventory scales: Learning, Problem Solving, Pressure, Role Expectations, Teamwork, Sensitivity, Work Politics, Overall Work Self-Efficacy (8 scales)

Some examples of how to price Scoring include:

• If you are adding scoring for 1-3 scales, your cost is $100.
• If you are adding scoring for 4-6 scales, your cost is $200.
