make script dependent on gender respondent

Hi!

I would like to run an experiment and make the conditions dependent on the gender of the respondent: girls will get the girl-version, boys the boy version.
Can anybody inform on how to best do this in inquisit 4?
Thanks!

The best approach will depend on the specifics of your script. There are several options:

#1: You can set up separate <block>s, <trial>s, etc. for girls vs. boys and use /skip attributes to only run those that apply depending on the response to the gender-question. Basic example:

<expt>
/ blocks = [1=genderblock; 2=girlblock; 3=boyblock]
</expt>

<block genderblock>
/ trials = [1=genderpage]
</block>

<block girlblock>
/ skip = [dropdown.genderq.response == "Boy."]
/ trials = [1=girltrial]
</block>

<block boyblock>
/ skip = [dropdown.genderq.response == "Girl."]
/ trials = [1=boytrial]
</block>

<surveypage genderpage>
/ questions = [1=genderq]
</surveypage>

<dropdown genderq>
/ caption = "I am a..."
/ options = ("Girl.", "Boy.")
</dropdown>

<trial girltrial>
/ stimulusframes = [1=girltext]
/ validresponse = (57)
</trial>

<trial boytrial>
/ stimulusframes = [1=boytext]
/ validresponse = (57)
</trial>

<text girltext>
/ items = ("This is the girls-version.")
</text>

<text boytext>
/ items = ("This is the boys-version.")
</text>

#2: You can also do something like in the multi-language IAT, i.e., have participants indicate their gender (instead of their language) and draw from different item sets accordingly: https://www.millisecond.com/download/library/v4/IAT/MultilanguageIAT/IAT_Multilanguage.iqx
