Millisecond Forums

If you want to stick to the original layout (multiple questions per page), <likert>s won't help, unfortunately. A <likert> is a type of <trial>, not a question element like <radiobuttons>. You can't have several <likert>s on a single "page".

Okay, thank you for letting me know.  So, should I convert all of my radiobuttons to likert questions?  Will the script still run in that case?

That's most certainly a bug :-( Thanks for reporting it. I'll make sure this gets fixed in the next release.

Hi Dave,

I can't seem to get the program to record the response for each radiobutton item.  In other words I have five items displayed at once that each have their own radiobutton scale, but no value or data is being recorded into the data file.  I created a data command, but that is working either.  Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Clayton

Hi Dave,

Thank you very much!  I realize after looking at your script that I didn't know how to use the list attributes and that was why I couldn't figure it out.  I really appreciate you helping me out with this question.  I may have a follow up later.  Again, thank you very much!

Best regards,

Clayton

Yes, this should be possible. Here's a basic sketch w/ reduced number of blocks and questions:

<expt>
/ blocks = [1-2=noreplace(blocka,blockb)]
</expt>

<block blocka>
/ trials = [1-2=pagea]
</block>

<block blockb>
/ trials = [1-2=pageb]
</block>

<surveypage pagea>
/ questions = [1=list.aquestions; 2=list.aquestions]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<surveypage pageb>
/ questions = [1=list.bquestions; 2=list.bquestions]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<list aquestions>
/ items = (radiobuttons.a1, radiobuttons.a2, radiobuttons.a3, radiobuttons.a4)
/ selectionrate = always
</list>

<list bquestions>
/ items = (radiobuttons.b1, radiobuttons.b2, radiobuttons.b3, radiobuttons.b4)
/ selectionrate = always
</list>

<radiobuttons a1>
/ caption = "A1"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons a2>
/ caption = "A2"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons a3>
/ caption = "A3"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons a4>
/ caption = "A4"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons b1>
/ caption = "B1"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons b2>
/ caption = "B2"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons b3>
/ caption = "B3"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons b4>
/ caption = "B4"
/ options = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>
