Hi there,
I have a emotion scale in my experiment and I need to present this for several times depending on the condition. Therefore I created the script below. Everything works in the way I want except one thing. The emotion items are selected "noreplace" only for the first time the scale is presented. In the subsequent sclaes it selects randonly but with replacement. So, it can display two times the same emotion (e.g. excited). Could you help me to eliminate this problem?
***************EMOTION SCALE****************
*******items*********
<item emotion>
/1="happy"
/2="tense"
/3="excited"
/4="pleased"
/5="alarmed"
/6="bored"
/7="satisfied"
/8="afraid"
/9="relaxed"
/10="angry"
/11="sad"
</item>
<item question>
/1="How do you feel right now? Please indicate by using the 5 point scale"
</item>
*******texts*********
