How to randomly present associations?

Wasabi8888 — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 17:43:38 GMT

Hi everyone,

For this task, the rival team, the non-rival team, and self team are randomly paired with one of three teams: Team Green, Team Blue, or Team Red. Additionally, three geometric shapes (circle/triangle/square) are randomly associated with these teams.

For instance, self team (Team Green) may be represented by a circle, the rival team (Team Blue) by a triangle, and the non-rival team (Team Red) by a square.

Upon reviewing the data file, I noticed that in the formal task, the associations between identities (the rival team, the non-rival team, and self team) and teams Team Green, Team Blue, or Team Red) did not match the associations specified in the previous instructions.

I would appreciate guidance on the appropriate changes.
Thank you!

Those changes don't make any sense to me. I'm asking you once again to take a step back, read through your code, clarify for yourself what you intend it to do and comment it accordingly. We won't get anywhere as long as you don't put in the time and effortto do that, sorry.

To give you a hint, the way you determine the tag items -- which team is which -- is all wrong. You can't first determine these randomly and then do something else entirely. This should become very obvious once you actually take the time and reason about what your code does and when.

//values.tag1 = list.sat_tag_group.nextvalue; // wrong
//values.tag2 = list.sat_tag_group.nextvalue; // wrong
//values.tag3 = list.sat_tag_group.nextvalue; // wrong
values.team = list.balanceteam.nextvalue; // here you actually determine which team is which and therefore this ought to determine the correct tag item numbers

For example, in the instructions, it states, "Your team is 'TEAM RED,' the rival team is 'TEAM GREEN,' and the non-rival team is 'TEAM BLUE.' Circle is paired with Team Blue, square is paired with Team Green, and triangle is paired with Team Red.

However, in the demo_mismatch trials, it consistently indicates that this shape is matched with the rival team 'TEAM GREEN.' Additionally, in the block_formal_group, the value of Con_shape is not correctly paired with Con_label. I don't know how to resolve this issue.

My point is this: Your selection here of pic and tag item numbers

[code]/ onblockbegin = [
values.pic1 = list.sat_pic_group.nextvalue;
values.pic2 = list.sat_pic_group.nextvalue;
values.pic3 = list.sat_pic_group.nextvalue;
values.tag1 = list.sat_tag_group.nextvalue;
values.tag2 = list.sat_tag_group.nextvalue;
values.tag3 = list.sat_tag_group.nextvalue;[/code]

does not -- at all -- hang together with the rest.

[code]values.team = list.balanceteam.nextvalue;
if (values.team == "1") {values.ownteam = "TEAM RED"; values.rivalteam = "TEAM GREEN"; values.neutralteam = "TEAM BLUE";
values.pic1con = "ingroup"; values.tag1name = "TEAM RED";
values.pic2con = "outgroup"; values.tag2name = "TEAM GREEN";
values.pic3con = "neutral"; values.tag3name = "TEAM BLUE"}
if (values.team == "2") {values.ownteam = "TEAM GREEN"; values.rivalteam = "TEAM BLUE"; values.neutralteam = "TEAM RED";
values.pic1con = "ingroup"; values.tag1name = "TEAM GREEN";
values.pic2con = "outgroup"; values.tag2name = "TEAM BLUE";

You cannot expect anything to "match" because you haven't done anyting at all to make those things match.

"Upon reviewing the data file, I noticed that in the formal task, the associations between identities (the rival team, the non-rival team, and self team) and teams Team Green, Team Blue, or Team Red) did not match the associations specified in the previous instructions."

Look at the "formal task" -- explain how you tried to make sure that "the associations specified in the previous instructions" match what happens in the "formal task."

Explain, with data, where you believe there is a mismatch.

RE: How to randomly present associations?

Hi everyone,

For this task, the rival team, the non-rival team, and self team are randomly paired with one of three teams: Team Green, Team Blue, or Team Red. Additionally, three geometric shapes (circle/triangle/square) are randomly associated with these teams.

For instance, self team (Team Green) may be represented by a circle, the rival team (Team Blue) by a triangle, and the non-rival team (Team Red) by a square.

Upon reviewing the data file, I noticed that in the formal task, the associations between identities (the rival team, the non-rival team, and self team) and teams Team Green, Team Blue, or Team Red) did not match the associations specified in the previous instructions.

I would appreciate guidance on the appropriate changes.
Thank you!

The first thing you need to do is to explain how you implemented the random associations and why you did it that way.
