Welcome to the jsPsych in Qualtrics Tutorial Series
WARNING!! This tutorial series is based on version 6.x of jsPsych. Due to extensive changes in jsPsych 7.x and above, many things in this tutorial won't work. However, you can still download jsPsych v6.3.1 (the last jsPsych 6.x release) and use it for your projects.
Hello, I am Kyoung Whan and have used jsPsych within Qualtrics extensively in my research. For example, I developed the Choose-And-Solve Task with jsPsych, ran the task using Qualtrics with math attitude surveys, and published a paper, titled "Calculated avoidance: Math anxiety predicts math avoidance in effort-based decision-making" (Choe et al., 2019, Science Advances).
The purpose of this tutorial series is to provide an easy-to-follow guide to Qualtrics users (e.g., many social and psychological science researchers) on embedding jsPsych-based behavioral experiments into Qualtrics so that they could study interesting individual differences, correlating questionnaires vs. behavioral/cognitive measures.

Unfortunately, this tutorial series is no longer actively maintained (last update, 11/25/2021), as I moved to the industry. Still, I hope this helps fellow researchers.
Part 1. The Basics: Launching an online study and saving the data
- Making jsPsych files loadable in Qualtrics
- The famous Hello World! example
