Put random words into a text question | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello! I'm doing a study in which I present descriptions of people that are characterized by random positive and negative words.
For instance, one person is characterized by 1 positive and 9 negative features, another by 4 positive and 6 negative ones. There are 10 descriptions like that. The features should appear randomly in a text question and be drawn randomly from a list of 10 positive and 10 negative words.
Is there any way I can do it in Qualtrics?
The descriptions will serve as independent variable and then I will ask participants to evaluate each description (my dependent variable).

Yes, you can do it.
Add a multiple choice question with your 20 words. Use advanced randomization to show 10 of the words evenly distributed. Hide the question with JavaScript, and click Next if it is on a page by itself.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
jQuery("#"+this.questionId).hide();
this.clickNextButton(); //optional - use if only question on page
});
Add a loop & merge block based on the displayed choices in the multiple choice question. Pipe ${lm://Field/1} as the positive/negative word in your question text.
