Hello,
I want to adapt a version of the Picture Story Exercise (Schultheiss & Pang ,2008) in a study. I want my participants to first see a picture for about 10 seconds and afterwards tell a story about this picture. My plan is to change the input device throughout the participant's answers. So you could say I have 3 conditions. I will use the word condition in the following to make it easier to understand.
Condition 1: Participants type a story using the keyboard in open text format. After a while they are told that time is up and they should click on forward. Then the next picture is presented. And so on. Condition 2: Participants write their stories on a sheet of paper that is on the table next to the desktop. This means, that there should be no text box on the screen (maybe there will be a note telling them to use the sheet of paper). After a while they are told that time is up (maybe accompanied by a sound signal) and they should click on forward.Then the next picture is presented. And so on. Condition 3: Participants tell their stories into a microphone. After a while they are told that time is up (maybe accompanied by a sound signal) and they should click on forward. After a while they are told that time is up (maybe accompanied by a sound signal) and they should click on forward. Then the next picture is presented. And so on. Now I plan to have a stimuli pool of 3 pictures per condition. This means that I have 9 pictures (3 pools with 3 pictures) in total.
What I want Inquisit to do, is to randomly select one condition in the beginning without replacement. This condition stays the same until the participant has typed/written/spoken the 3 stories for this condition. Afterwards Inquisit should randomly pick one condition of the remaining. This stays the same for the next 3 stories and then it should choose the remaining condition. The next part I want to randomize is the picture pool. So in a first step Inquisit should randomly select a condition without replacement and then randomly select a picture pool without replacement. The chosen pool stays the same for the chosen condition and when Inquisit randomly selects the next condition it should randomly select the next picture pool. And so on.
I wanted to ask you if you have an elegant idea to realize this experiment, because I am a little stuck. It would be very helpful, if you could help me. Thank you in advance for your time and brainwork. Dominik
