+xIn Inquisit Web, I need to send participants to one of two pre-defined URLs at the end of a session: a "complete" link and a "screen-out" link (when consent is denied or the experiment aboerted) for a panel provider. Is that possible?
I've tried setting defaults.finishPage in <defaults> and assigning it in /onexptend, but I can't get the script's value to be used instead of the one registered in the experiment settings.
Thanks!
Yes, you need to set the defaults.finishpage property to the desired URL.
But there are a coüple things to note::
(1) In the web experiment settings, the finish page settings must left on the default. If you specify any URL there, that URL will override whatever you set in your script(s).
(2) If you are administering multiple scripts via <batch>, the URLs must be set in the batch script /onScriptEnd, not the task script(s).
(3) Using script.abort() will prevent the opening of any finish page.
Here's a basic, single script example, you can try it out here.
https://mili2nd.co/f3mc<defaults>
/ finishPage = "
https://www.example.com/complete" // URL you send participants to if they consent
</defaults>
<parameters>
/ consentDeclined = false
</parameters>
<text consentText>
/ items = ("Do you consent to participate?")
</text>
<button yesButton>
/ caption = "Yes"
/ size = (10%,8%)
/ position = (30%,85%)
</button>
<button noButton>
/ caption = "No"
/ size = (10%,8%)
/ position = (70%,85%)
</button>
<text myText>
/ items = ("Press the space bar to continue")
/ fontStyle = ("Arial", 2.08%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
</text>
<trial consentTrial>
/ onTrialEnd = {
if (this.responseText == "noButton") {
defaults.finishPage = "
https://www.example.com/screenout" // URL you send participants to if they decline consent
parameters.consentDeclined = true;
}
}
/ stimulusFrames = [1=consentText, yesButton, noButton]
/ inputDevice = mouse
/ validResponse = (yesButton, noButton)
</trial>
<trial myTrial>
/ preTrialPause = 500
/ stimulusTimes = [1=myText]
/ validResponse = (" ")
</trial>
<block consentBlock>
/ trials = [1=consentTrial]
</block>
<block myBlock>
/ preInstructions = (myPage)
/ trials = [1-10=myTrial]
</block>
<expt myExpt>
/ stop = {
return parameters.consentDeclined;
}
/ blocks = [1=consentBlock; 2=myBlock]
</expt>
<page myPage>
On the following 10 trials, press the space bar
