HI !
i made a likertscala for presented pictures. How can i make a dropdownbox or radiobuttons instead of the likertskala? The idea is, that whenever a picture is presented, a dropdownbox or radiobuttons (what´s the different?) with 7 options should be seen under the picture and the subject has to choose one option.

thx a lot for your help.


<block likertlight>
/ preinstructions=(lightness)
/ trials = [1-18 = lightness]
</block>

<item pictures>
/1 = "picture 1.png"
/2 = "picture 2.png"
/3 = "picture 3.png"
/4 = "picture 4.png"
/5 = "picture 5.png"
/6 = "picture 6.png"
/7 = "picture 7.png"
/8 = "picture 8.png"
/9 = "picture 9.png"
/10 = "picture 10.png"
/11 = "picture 11.png"
/12 = "picture 12.png"
/13 = "picture 13.png"
/14 = "picture 14.png"
/15 = "picture 15.png"
/16 = "picture 16.png"
/17 = "picture 17.png"
/18 = "picture 18.png"
</item>

<picture patches>
/ size = (55%, 55%)
/ items = pictures
/ position = (50, 45)
/ select = noreplace
</picture>

<text questionlight>
/ items = ("Wie hell ist dieses Farbfeld?")
/ position = (50,80)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2.04%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
</text>

<likert lightness>
/ anchors = [1="dunkel"; 7="hell"]
/ stimulusframes = [1 = patches, questionlight]
/ mouse=false
/ numpoints=7
/ position= (50,96)
/ anchorwidth = 100
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2.04%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
</likert>


<page lightness>
Wie "hell" schätzen Sie die folgenden 18 Bilder auf einer Skala von 1 (sehr dunkel) bis 7 (sehr hell) ein?
Bitte wählen Sie eine Option mit dem Nummernfeld ihrer Tastertur aus und bestätigen Sie diese mit der Entertaste.

You need to create a <surveypage>. Display the <radiobuttons> and/or <dropdown> on that page via its /questions attribute. A <surveypage> is a kind of <trial>, i.e., you can run it via a <block>'s /trials attribute just like you do with regular <trial> elements or <likert>. To display the image on the page, either use <image> elements displayed via the /questions attribute, or display a <picture> element via the <urveypage>'s /stimulusframes.

For an introduction to <surveypage>s and the various question formats, check out the "demographic survey" tutorial included in the Inquisit documentation.

hi thx a lot, that´s working well. 
At the left corner, now there is always a number (1), i think it´s from the buttonbox (/stimulusframes=[1=patches,..]. is it possible to get this done without that number?

and second question: now  the picture and the buttonbox are presented at the same time. but if the subject clicks on the continue-button before he chooses a button from the list, the picture disapears. how can i fix that?
the picture should be presented as long as the subject has choosen an option.
thx a lot :)

that´s the code :

<surveypage lightness>
/ stimulusframes = [1=patches, questionlight]
/ nextbuttonposition = (48,92)
/ navigationbuttonsize = (5,3)
/ questions = [1=box]
</surveypage>



<radiobuttons box>
/ options = ("sehr dunkel", "dunkel", "leicht dunkel", "mittel", "leicht hell", "hell", "sehr hell")
/required = true
/orientation = horizontal
/ position = (27,87)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 1.48%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
</radiobuttons>

> At the left corner, now there is always a number (1)

Set the <surveypage>'s /showpagenumbers and /showquestionnumbers attributes to false.

> the picture and the buttonbox are presented at the same time. but if the subject clicks on the continue-button before he chooses a button from the list, the picture disapears.
> how can i fix that?

You can't. That's what happens when you present any stimuli via a <surveypage>'s /stimulusframes. They will not be re-drawn. The only solution is to use <image> elements instead. Cf. https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost15230.aspx

ok thx

i only see /showquestionnumbers and set attributes to false. the number is still here.
can´t find /showpagenumbers
