Assigning groupID in Inquisit Web

nidhi_desai — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 17:48:34 GMT

In this tutorial for setting up Inquisit Web, it mentions that I can assign the groupIDs through the links sent out to each participant. While I was setting up my Inquisit Web experiment, I did not see how to do this and where I can find the different task links for different groups. I am imagining if I add 6 as the number of groups while setting up the Inquisit Web experiment, I should get 6 different links for this task which I can then send to the participants from different groups. Please let me know how I can set this up. Thank you for you time.

I had a follow-up question. I am using a link to my experiment like this example https://mili2nd.co/yourexperimentsshortcode?subjectid=heregoestheid&groupid=1. I send the participants the link with the subject ID and group ID. Even though the link contains the subject ID the participant is prompted to input the subject ID. How do I remove this need for the participant to re-enter their subject ID?

Also if I go ahead with the task, the way it is set up right now, if the participant when prompted enters a different subject ID than that mentioned in the link, which subject ID will the data be saved with?

You need to select the "URL parameter" option for the subject ID in your web experiment's settings.

Thank you for that information. I had a follow-up question. If I wanted to have subjectID and the groupID both in the URL parameter, how would I go about it. If I set both subjectID and groupID as "Url parameter", how will the url look like?

Then select "Url parameter" for both subject and group id. Your URLs will then have to be

https://mili2nd.co/yourexperimentsshortcode?subjectid=heregoestheid&groupid=1

and so on.

You need to select the "Url parameter" option under "Choose how the group id should be determined."

If you have six groups defined in your study, assigned by group number, then

https://mili2nd.co/yourexperimentsshortcode?groupid=1 will launch the 1st condition,
https://mili2nd.co/yourexperimentsshortcode?groupid=2 will launch the 2nd condition, and so forth up to
https://mili2nd.co/yourexperimentsshortcode?groupid=6 to launch the 6th condition.
