The approach would be the same, although perhaps you'd want to base things on certain ranges, i.e. put all items with responses between, say, -100 to -90 in a single bin, etc.

Thanks Dave,

the itemcount property helped a lot!

What I'm still interested in is how to make it when the rating is done with a slider. The solution with an empty itemlist for every possible response works fine with my -5 to +5 scale but is not very applicable for a slider from -100 to +100 with an increment of 1.

Any ideas if there's a way to do that with inquisit?

best, Mario

You'll probably want to use the 'itemcount' property. See the documentation for details.

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1-10=mylikert]
</block>

<likert mylikert>
/ ontrialend = [if(likert.mylikert.response=="1")item.r1.item=text.mytext.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if(likert.mylikert.response=="2")item.r2.item=text.mytext.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if(likert.mylikert.response=="3")item.r3.item=text.mytext.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if(likert.mylikert.response=="4")item.r4.item=text.mytext.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if(likert.mylikert.response=="5")item.r5.item=text.mytext.currentitem]
/ stimulusframes = [1=mytext,debug]
/ anchorwidth = (4%)
</likert>

<text mytext>
/ items = myitems
/ position = (50%, 40%)
</text>

<item myitems>
/ 1 = "A"
/ 2 = "B"
/ 3 = "C"
/ 4 = "D"
/ 5 = "E"
/ 6 = "F"
/ 7 = "G"
/ 8 = "H"
/ 9 = "I"
/ 10 = "J"
</item>

<text debug>
/ items = ("R1=<%item.r1.itemcount%>|R2=<%item.r2.itemcount%>|R3=<%item.r3.itemcount%>|R4=<%item.r4.itemcount%>|R5=<%item.r5.itemcount%>")
/ position = (50%, 30%)
</text>

<item r1>
</item>

<item r2>
</item>

<item r3>
</item>

<item r4>
</item>

<item r5>
</item>

Hi Community,

I'm interested if there are any solutions for the problem in this old post by now. Any ideas how to implement safeguards in case of bins with less than 3 items?

I was thinking about putting something like this in the block that is presenting the selected items:

/ onblockbegin = [if (item.pret.min5.item.1 == "") item.pret.min5.item= item.pret.min4.item.1]
/ onblockbegin = [if (item.pret.min5.item.2 == "") item.pret.min5.item= item.pret.min4.item.2]
/ onblockbegin = [if (item.pret.min5.item.3 == "") item.pret.min5.item= item.pret.min4.item.3]

But that seems not to be a very smart solution and would be a lot of code to apply to all possible cases...

I'm especially interested in a solution that would even work with a scale of higher resolution like a slider with values from -100 to +100.

Thanks for any ideas.

Mario

Dave,

I'm sorry that I did not respond to this. Just to much work - hope that never happens again.

the thing is that I resigned from having participant based selection of stimuli to the study. It seemed to me too much of a task to solve as for the inquisit beginner.

I'll will return to the issue shortly though. I'll keep you posted on this....

All the best,
Robert

Hey Robert,

any progress with this? I might be doing something similar fairly soon, so if you could share your experiences (or even your script if that's possible) that would be very helpful.

Thanks,
~Dave

Cool - please keep me posted about your progress. This is an interesting, little problem and I'd really like to see the result once it's finished.

Cheers,
~Dave

Dave,

Thanks - that works fine now.

Cheers,
Robert

Robert,

you'll have to use *keyboard scancodes* rather than the literal key values (i.e. letters) in your '/ ontrialend' attributes. If you write

===pretest trial
<trial pic_pretest>
/ stimulusframes = [1=noreplace(CS_US_pretest); 61=skala_pretest]
/ responseframe = 61
/ response = timeout(3000)
/ validresponse = ("a", "s", "d", "f", "g", "h", "j", "k", "l", ";", "'")
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "30") item.pret.min5.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "31") item.pret.min4.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "32") item.pret.min3.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "33") item.pret.min2.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "34") item.pret.min1.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "35") item.pret.0.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "36") item.pret.1.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "37") item.pret.2.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "38") item.pret.3.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "51") item.pret.4.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ ontrialend = [if (trial.pic_pretest.response == "43") item.pret.5.item = text.CS_US_pretest.currentitem]
/ trialcode = "pretest_bodzcow"
</trial>

the script should work as intended (please make sure you double-check these scancodes I inserted).

Best,
~Dave

Dear Dave,

I've tried to follow your suggestions, but I guess I must have done sth badly, cause it doesn't seem to work at all.

Could you have a quick look on the attached script? I did the pretest of stimuli (pictures) rated by pressing corresponding keyboard. what I wanted to have are the stimuli sorted into item sets based on participants responses. I've implemented page that is supposed to report how many items there are in particular item sets. Very simple, but doesn't do what it is supposed to.

Am I missing sth in the script?

All the best,
Robert
