I figured out a way to test my randomization. I created a survey with my multiple choice question only, and then manually completed this one-question survey many times. I also got in touch with Qualtrics support so they fix this feature, as I think it makes sense that the automatic response generation: a) does not respond hidden questions; and b) displays multiple choices in aleatory order when applicable, even if it is irrelevant from the bot's perspective. As for the randomization itself, it doesn't work as intended. For 70 participants in the same condition, some questions would be viewed as little as 15 times will others would be seen as much as 30 times. However, when I add responses by material (e.g. roomA_material1 + roomB_material1 + roomC_material1) then all materials have equal exposure. This makes sense as the randomizer displays each number evenly, which is determines material selection. However, the aleatory order does not display each number uniformly across all possible
.
you are the GOAT. Thanks!
Oh my god I'm truly stupid. I was so focused on having the ability to correctly detect the word displayed on the left hand that once I was able to do that, I thought I had found the solution. I actually still needed to implement a conditional comparison where "if (txt == "standard")... and so on. Anyway, I think I'll use your solution as it is much more elegant. Thank you very much!
https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/35682#Comment_35682Thank you, Ahmed. I was working on this issue when you posted your reply, and it seems I solved it following a different approach. Do you have a sense for what solution is best?
I think I solved the issue: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ var label = document.getElementById(this.questionId+"-"+i+"-label"); var txt = label.textContent; label.innerHTML += ""+txt+"";})This seems to be doing what I wanted. I just hope it will not somehow mess the responses.
