Likert Scale to include 0

Hello,


I need to input a questionnaire with the rating scale (anchors) from 0-7. However, it requires me to start my anchors at 1 to be able to run, which I don't want to do. Can you tell me is there anything I can input to allow it to start at 0?


Thanks.

<likert Robson>


/ buttonvalues = [1="0"; 2="1"; 3="2"; 4="3"; 5="4"; 6="5"; 7="6"]


/ anchors = [0="Strongly disgree"; 2="Disagree"; 5="Agree"; 7="Strongly agree"]


/ stimulusframes = [1 = robson]


/ mouse=false

Yayyyyy got it going! [:D]

OK new issue:


When I now run the experiment you have to select "1" in order to choose the option of 0... how do I change that? I need to be able to choose 0 because it now says 0!!

Not possible w/ keyboard input -- must use mouse. Note that '0' has special meaning: It indicates 'noresponse'. Hence you cannot define an actual response to be 0.

OK how do I use mouse to do that?



Also I am struggling with how to upload pictures. I write


<picture>


</picture>


But I don't know what to write in between to get the image from my desktop to be there!

/inputdevice = mouse ?

You will find those basics covered in the tutorials contained in the documentation.

Really sorry, not sure I understand:


I just write /inputdevice = mouse


What do I then have to do with the mouse to get it to recognise 0 as a response?

You click on the <likert>'s button labeled 0? What am I missing?

By alix762 - 12/11/2013

Sorry, does this mean when answering the questionnaire respondents won't be able to press 0 on the keypad they will only be able to use the mouse?

By alix762 - 12/11/2013

Yes I understand now, sorry takes a while for things to sink in haha

By Dave - 12/11/2013

Okay, great!
