+xIs there any way to change the background colour behind the likert scale to match the default background instead of it staying white? This is important for context for my experiment. I've tried various default settings to no avail. TIA
With the <likert> element? No.
Your best option is to buld a custom likert <trial> using regular <text>, <button>, <shape>, etc. elements.
<defaults>
/ screencolor = aqua
</defaults>
<values>
/ likertValue = null
</values>
<expt myExpt>
/ blocks = [1=myBlock]
</expt>
<block myBlock>
/ trials = [1-5=likertTrial]
</block>
<trial likertTrial>
/ onTrialEnd = [
values.likertValue = substring(trial.likertTrial.responseText, 1, 1);
]
/ stimulusframes = [1=clearscreen, question, line, o1, o2, o3, o4]
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ validresponse = (o1,o2,o3,o4)
</trial>
<button o1>
/ caption = "1"
/ size = (4%, 4%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%)
/ position = (20%, 60%)
</button>
<button o2>
/ caption = "2"
/ size = (4%, 4%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%)
/ position = (40%, 60%)
</button>
<button o3>
/ caption = "3"
/ size = (4%, 4%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%)
/ position = (60%, 60%)
</button>
<button o4>
/ caption = "4"
/ size = (4%, 4%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%)
/ position = (80%, 60%)
</button>
<shape line>
/ shape = rectangle
/ size = (60%, 1%)
/ position = (50%, 60%)
</shape>
<text question>
/ items = questionItems
/ select = sequence
/ txbgcolor = transparent
</text>
<item questionItems>
/ 1 = "Q1"
/ 2 = "Q2"
/ 3 = "Q3"
/ 4 = "Q4"
/ 5 = "Q5"
</item>
<data>
/ columns = (date, time, subject, group, session, blocknum, blockcode, trialnum, trialcode, stimulusitem, stimulusnumber, stimulusitem, stimulusnumber,
responseText, correct, latency, values.likertValue)
/ separatefiles = true
</data>
