Hi everyone,
I have a script like the following. I definded 7 likert scale items. What I want to do is randomize those items in the questionnaire. Is there a possibility for that? I already tried doing it with:
<block SN>
/trials=[1-7=noreplacenorepeat(SN_ph1, SN_ph2, SN_ph3, SN_ph4, SN_ph5, SN_ph6,
SN_ps1)]
</block>

but that didn't work, I guess because I specified them in a sequence beforehand.

Best!

You're selecting questions sequentially, so it does not matter how you sample the <likert> elements -- it won't make a difference. But I don't even understand why you've defined seven <likert> elements, could you explain the reason, please?

In my "real" quesionnaire I have 30 statements, that have to be answered on a likert scale. I would like to present those 30 statements in a randomized order

That does not answer the question I asked: Why have you defined more than one <likert> element? If all you want is to randomize the order of questions, then you need only a single <likert> element run 7 (or 30 or however many) times and set <text questions> to /select = noreplace instead of /select = squence.

I guess I did that wrong then. But I don't get how I can specify the names of my variables then or where.

You're selecting questions sequentially, so it does not matter how you sample the <likert> elements -- it won't make a difference. But I don't even understand why you've defined seven <likert> elements, could you explain the reason, please?

In my "real" quesionnaire I have 30 statements, that have to be answered on a likert scale. I would like to present those 30 statements in a randomized order

That does not answer the question I asked: Why have you defined more than one <likert> element? If all you want is to randomize the order of questions, then you need only a single <likert> element run 7 (or 30 or however many) times and set <text questions> to /select = noreplace instead of /select = squence.

I guess I did that wrong then. But I don't get how I can specify the names of my variables then or where.

What variables?

Hi everyone,
I have a script like the following. I definded 7 likert scale items. What I want to do is randomize those items in the questionnaire. Is there a possibility for that? I already tried doing it with:
<block SN>
/trials=[1-7=noreplacenorepeat(SN_ph1, SN_ph2, SN_ph3, SN_ph4, SN_ph5, SN_ph6,
SN_ps1)]
</block>

but that didn't work, I guess because I specified them in a sequence beforehand.

Best!

Script:

Not variables, but item names. If I only define one likert scale, what do I put in this section:
<block SN>
/trials=[1=SN_ph1, 2=SN_ph2, 3=SN_ph3, 4=SN_ph4,5= SN_ph5, 6=SN_ph6,
7=SN_ps1)]
</block>

Because I didn't define SN_ph1 etc. then... :) and is there a way to still define those items, because it would be very helpful for analysis to have the names of each item
