Likert Questions

Hi Dave,

I'm putting together a Likert questionnaire, and am wondering if the script below is the best method of displaying the questions?
I've checked the Inquisit documentation at https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/viewer.htm#https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/elements/likert.htm, but can't seem to find how a bank of questions can be presented using a /likert trial.

Any ideas?

Here is the script I have so far:

<likert LikertA>
/ stimulusframes=[1=clearscreen,question1,question2,question3]
/ anchors=[1="Never"; 2="Almost Never"; 3="Neutral"; 4="Sometimes, 5="Always"]
/ position=(50, 80)
</likert>

<text question1>
/ items = ("Question 1 text")
</text>

<text question2>
/ items = ("Question 2 text")
</text>

<text question3>
/ items = ("Question 3 text")
</text>

If you want multiple questions on a single screen, you don't want to use <likert>. A <likert> trial always displays a single likert question, that is what it is supposed to do.

You want surveypages with multiple radiobuttons questions.

Thanks Dave,

If going for multiple Likert questions over multiple screens, is the best way to script it as follows?

<likert Likert1>
/ stimulusframes=[1=question1]
/ anchors=[1="Never"; 2="Almost Never"; 3="Neutral"; 4="Sometimes, 5="Always"]
/ position=(50, 80)
</likert>

<text question1>
/ items = ("Question 1 text")
</text>

<likert Likert2>
/ stimulusframes=[1=question2]
/ anchors=[1="Never"; 2="Almost Never"; 3="Neutral"; 4="Sometimes, 5="Always"]
/ position=(50, 80)
</likert>

<text question2>
/ items = ("Question 2 text")
</text>

<likert Likert3>
/ stimulusframes=[1=question3]
/ anchors=[1="Never"; 2="Almost Never"; 3="Neutral"; 4="Sometimes, 5="Always"]
/ position=(50, 80)
</likert>

<text question3>
/ items = ("Question 3 text")
</text>

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1-3 = MyLikert]
</block>

<likert MyLikert>
/ stimulusframes=[1=question]
/ anchors=[1="Never"; 2="Almost Never"; 3="Neutral"; 4="Sometimes"; 5="Always"]
/ position=(50, 80)
</likert>

<text question>
/ items = item.questionitems
/ select = sequence
</text>

<item questionitems>
/ 1 = "Question A"
/ 2 = "Question B"
/ 3 = "Question C"
</item>

Thanks Dave,

That's a much clearer way to display the questions.

Much appreciated!
