Hello,
I am making a survey page that asks about participants' mood, and it is virtually complete. However, there is one issue - if you hit the "finish" button without clicking one of the radio buttons, a white box appears over the stimuli, as shown below:
I've tried setting all the stimuli to erase = false, but this doesn't seem to help. Is this a problem with survey page, or maybe my implementation of the radio buttons?
I wanted to use radio buttons in particular so I could designate the data output numerically (0-4), as opposed to having the output be the name of the picture (b1-b5) the participant clicks.
Here is my code:
<defaults>
/screencolor = white
</defaults>
<Page aftermoodq>
You're doing great! Press the 'Space' bar to proceed to the next game.
</page>
<page end>
Nice! Please press the 'Space' bar to continue.
