Group: Forum Members Posts: 7, Visits: 1	Hello I downloaded the IAT word script from the inquisit page and would like to know, if its ok if i have in two of the four categories only one stimuli per category: <item attributeAlabel> /1 = "Gut" </item> <item attributeA> /1 = "Freude" /2 = "Liebe" /3 = "Wundervoll" /4 = "SchÃ¶n" /5 = "VergnÃ¼gen" /6 = "Grossartig" /7 = "Lachen" /8 = "GlÃ¼cklich" </item> <item attributeBlabel> /1 = "Schlecht" </item> <item attributeB> /1 = "Schrecklich" /2 = "Grausam" /3 = "Elend" /4 = "BÃ¶se" /5 = "Scheusslich" /6 = "Misserfolg" /7 = "Ãbel" /8 = "Verlust" </item> <item targetAlabel> /1 = "Generation" </item> <item targetA> /1 = "Generation" </item> <item targetBlabel> /1 = "Altersgruppe" </item> <item targetB> /1 = "Altersgruppe" </item> Further: Each time a new participant does the IAT i give in a new subject ID. But what is the group number for? Do i also have to change it or is ok if i leave it always at 1? Last question: That the blocks are presented in a randomised order is programmed automatically right? I don't need to program this additionally? I would really appreciate your help!! Thank you so much for any advice!

The code you posted has the exact same number of stims as any other standard IAT / as in the original template. But what is the group number for? The group number is a new feature in Inquisit 4, currently in beta. The publically available IAT scripts are for Inquisit 3 and thus don't make any use of group number. You can ignore it for now and just leave it alone at its default value. Last question: That the blocks are presented in a randomised order is programmed automatically right? I don't need to program this additionally? The order of blocks is counterbalanced between subjects according to the supplied subject number (odd vs. even). See the script's <variables> element for details. I generally recommend you work through the various tutorials included in the Inquisit documentation before moving on. Regards, ~Dave

Group: Forum Members Posts: 7, Visits: 1	Thank you sooo much for your help. With the first question i ment: that the two attitude categories consist each eight stimuli words to categorisize (like in the normal IAT-Skript). But my two target categories consist each only one stimuli word instead of eight words. Do i have to make any adjustments to the rest of the script? i tried it out and it works fine i just want to make sure that there is no problem. Tank you a lot and wish you a great day!
