Erin2004 - 6/20/2024

Hi, there
After each survey completion, I receive two types of files: a detailed file that includes all the necessary data, and a summary file that unfortunately lacks some details. Specifically, the summary files omit crucial information such as response times, condition assignments, and three specific responses from the "similar" condition. Moreover, these files are generated individually for each participant rather than providing a comprehensive summary for all participants. Is there a way to address these two issues?

Thank you!!!!

The code is incomplete and has various mistakes on top. Please provide complete and working code.

Further, summary data writes out a single-row summary. If you want separate variables per condition, you need to either store these in separate variables and log these variables or you must avoid re-using the same question elements in different conditions (i.e. instead define one set of question elements per condition, log these).

If you want latencies logged, log the respective surveypage elements' latency properties. There are no per-question latencies, since questions on the same page can be answered in any order, participants can go back and forth between questions and change responses, etc. The latency is the time at which the entire page is submitted.

You can set /separatefiles = false in <summarydata>, then all participants' data collected on the same machine with Inquisit Lab will go into a single summary data file. There is no problem with having separate files, however, and I would recommend sticking with separate files. You can always merge them later.

As the HR person for Hometown Groceries, you are tasked with finding the right candidate. You understand that this person needs to not only integrate these
technologies into the business, but also manage this transition smoothly, ensuring the team adapts effectively. You have decided to focus on <u><b>five dimensions
to evaluate the candidates</u></b>: Career objective, educational background, work experience, technical skills, and professional achievements.<br><br>

To assist you in this hiring task, you reach out to your counterpart at "Neighborhood Market," a similar business that recently went through the same
process. The HR person at Neighborhood Market shares with you <u><b>two candidates they previously hired</u></b>. Armed with these examples, you now have a clearer
picture of what to look for in candidates.<br><br>

<u><b>The resumes of both example employees</u></b> from "Neighborhood Market" <u><b>and your shortlisted candidate</u></b> will be presented to you on the next page. The information
shows their relevant qualifications in the five dimensions you will consider.<br><br>

Please carefully review their profiles.

Hi, there
After each survey completion, I receive two types of files: a detailed file that includes all the necessary data, and a summary file that unfortunately lacks some details. Specifically, the summary files omit crucial information such as response times, condition assignments, and three specific responses from the "similar" condition. Moreover, these files are generated individually for each participant rather than providing a comprehensive summary for all participants. Is there a way to address these two issues?

Thank you!!!!

If you want separate variables per condition, you need to either store these in separate variables and log these variables or you must avoid re-using the same question elements in different conditions (i.e. instead define one set of question elements per condition, log these).

If you want latencies logged, log the respective surveypage elements' latency properties. There are no per-question latencies, since questions on the same page can be answered in any order, participants can go back and forth between questions and change responses, etc. The latency is the time at which the entire page is submitted.

You can set /separatefiles = false in <summarydata>, then all participants' data collected on the same machine with Inquisit Lab will go into a single summary data file. There is no problem with having separate files, however, and I would recommend sticking with separate files. You can always merge them later.

To assist you in this hiring task, you reach out to your counterpart at "Neighborhood Market," a similar business that recently went through the same
process. The HR person at Neighborhood Market shares with you <u><b>two candidates they previously hired</u></b>. Armed with these examples, you now have a clearer
picture of what to look for in candidates.<br><br>

<u><b>The resumes of both example employees</u></b> from "Neighborhood Market" <u><b>and your shortlisted candidate</u></b> will be presented to you on the next page. The information
shows their relevant qualifications in the five dimensions you will consider.<br><br>

Please carefully review their profiles.

Hi, there
After each survey completion, I receive two types of files: a detailed file that includes all the necessary data, and a summary file that unfortunately lacks some details. Specifically, the summary files omit crucial information such as response times, condition assignments, and three specific responses from the "similar" condition. Moreover, these files are generated individually for each participant rather than providing a comprehensive summary for all participants. Is there a way to address these two issues?

Thank you!!!!

The code is incomplete and has various mistakes on top. Please provide complete and working code.

Further, summary data writes out a single-row summary. If you want separate variables per condition, you need to either store these in separate variables and log these variables or you must avoid re-using the same question elements in different conditions (i.e. instead define one set of question elements per condition, log these).

If you want latencies logged, log the respective surveypage elements' latency properties. There are no per-question latencies, since questions on the same page can be answered in any order, participants can go back and forth between questions and change responses, etc. The latency is the time at which the entire page is submitted.

You can set /separatefiles = false in <summarydata>, then all participants' data collected on the same machine with Inquisit Lab will go into a single summary data file. There is no problem with having separate files, however, and I would recommend sticking with separate files. You can always merge them later.

As the HR person for Hometown Groceries, you are tasked with finding the right candidate. You understand that this person needs to not only integrate these
technologies into the business, but also manage this transition smoothly, ensuring the team adapts effectively. You have decided to focus on <u><b>five dimensions
to evaluate the candidates</u></b>: Career objective, educational background, work experience, technical skills, and professional achievements.<br><br>

To assist you in this hiring task, you reach out to your counterpart at "Neighborhood Market," a similar business that recently went through the same
process. The HR person at Neighborhood Market shares with you <u><b>two candidates they previously hired</u></b>. Armed with these examples, you now have a clearer
picture of what to look for in candidates.<br><br>

<u><b>The resumes of both example employees</u></b> from "Neighborhood Market" <u><b>and your shortlisted candidate</u></b> will be presented to you on the next page. The information
shows their relevant qualifications in the five dimensions you will consider.<br><br>

Please carefully review their profiles.

Hi, Dave,
Thanks for your help last time. And I have a couple of new questions. Is there a way to make the sliders longer? Also, can we set it up so that participants are required to complete the slider questions? It seems they can currently skip them. Thanks!

Hi, there
After each survey completion, I receive two types of files: a detailed file that includes all the necessary data, and a summary file that unfortunately lacks some details. Specifically, the summary files omit crucial information such as response times, condition assignments, and three specific responses from the "similar" condition. Moreover, these files are generated individually for each participant rather than providing a comprehensive summary for all participants. Is there a way to address these two issues?

Thank you!!!!

The code is incomplete and has various mistakes on top. Please provide complete and working code.

Further, summary data writes out a single-row summary. If you want separate variables per condition, you need to either store these in separate variables and log these variables or you must avoid re-using the same question elements in different conditions (i.e. instead define one set of question elements per condition, log these).

If you want latencies logged, log the respective surveypage elements' latency properties. There are no per-question latencies, since questions on the same page can be answered in any order, participants can go back and forth between questions and change responses, etc. The latency is the time at which the entire page is submitted.

You can set /separatefiles = false in <summarydata>, then all participants' data collected on the same machine with Inquisit Lab will go into a single summary data file. There is no problem with having separate files, however, and I would recommend sticking with separate files. You can always merge them later.

Hi, Dave,
Thanks for your help last time. And I have a couple of new questions. Is there a way to make the sliders longer? Also, can we set it up so that participants are required to complete the slider questions? It seems they can currently skip them. Thanks!

> Is there a way to make the sliders longer?

Yes, by specifying the desired /slidersize. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/attributes/slidersize.htm

> Also, can we set it up so that participants are required to complete the slider questions?

Yes, by setting /required=true in the <slider> elements. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/attributes/required.htm

<slider example>
/ caption = "Example Slider"
/ labels = ("left", "middle", "right")
/ required = true
/ slidersize = (90%, 10%)
/ range = (1,100)
</slider>

Hi, there
After each survey completion, I receive two types of files: a detailed file that includes all the necessary data, and a summary file that unfortunately lacks some details. Specifically, the summary files omit crucial information such as response times, condition assignments, and three specific responses from the "similar" condition. Moreover, these files are generated individually for each participant rather than providing a comprehensive summary for all participants. Is there a way to address these two issues?

Thank you!!!!

The code is incomplete and has various mistakes on top. Please provide complete and working code.

Further, summary data writes out a single-row summary. If you want separate variables per condition, you need to either store these in separate variables and log these variables or you must avoid re-using the same question elements in different conditions (i.e. instead define one set of question elements per condition, log these).

If you want latencies logged, log the respective surveypage elements' latency properties. There are no per-question latencies, since questions on the same page can be answered in any order, participants can go back and forth between questions and change responses, etc. The latency is the time at which the entire page is submitted.

You can set /separatefiles = false in <summarydata>, then all participants' data collected on the same machine with Inquisit Lab will go into a single summary data file. There is no problem with having separate files, however, and I would recommend sticking with separate files. You can always merge them later.

Hi, Dave,
Thanks for your help last time. And I have a couple of new questions. Is there a way to make the sliders longer? Also, can we set it up so that participants are required to complete the slider questions? It seems they can currently skip them. Thanks!

> Is there a way to make the sliders longer?

Yes, by specifying the desired /slidersize. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/attributes/slidersize.htm

> Also, can we set it up so that participants are required to complete the slider questions?

Yes, by setting /required=true in the <slider> elements. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/attributes/required.htm

<slider example>
/ caption = "Example Slider"
/ labels = ("left", "middle", "right")
/ required = true
/ slidersize = (90%, 10%)
/ range = (1,100)
</slider>
