JS/CSS to format countdown timer

Hi @lg236, I'm not sure if this answers your questions, but I have used JS to create (rather than modify) a timer. I found this code somewhere online several years ago (I didn't create it), but it has worked well for me in the past. This code goes in the JS box: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { /*Place Your Javascript Below This Line*/ function countdown(minutes) { var seconds = 60; var mins = minutes function tick() { var counter = document.getElementById("timer"); var current_minutes = mins-1 seconds--; counter.innerHTML = current_minutes.toString() + ":" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" : "") + String(seconds); if( seconds > 0 ) { setTimeout(tick, 1000); } else { if(mins > 1){ setTimeout(function () { countdown(mins - 1); }, 1000); } } } tick(); } countdown(5); }); and this code goes in the HTML script for the question's text: ! You w

Can I update loop and merge fields dynamically?

Hi @keharmo, To be honest, I can't think of another way that would allow for any combination between the Xs and the Ys and have fewer columns... I'll keep thinking about it though.

If you want to have one shuffled pairing of Xs and Ys that is shown to every participant (i.e., each person would see b with q and c with r), then you can shuffle the sets and place them in two columns in a loop and merge. Then for the questions you would just pipe in those fields. For example, you would have: "What percentage of ${lm://Field/1} do you think are ${lm://Field/2}?". If you want each person to see different pairings of Xs and Ys (and if each question is being presented individually) then you could create 80 questions, 1 for each of version of X, and pipe in a random Y from the loop and merge field. You can randomize the presentation of the questions so that each participant would see the Xs in a random order (paired with Ys in a random order). For example, you would have: "What percentage of a do you think are ${lm://Field/1}?"

Question at a random position within a range

Hi @mojganaz , Sorry, I never use the previous button so I don't have any experience with when you can vs. can't see it. Maybe a potential solution to that problem would be to ask them right before the second randomizer if they would like to go back. If you set up 5 branches, one with each of the first five blocks duplicated into them you can set display logic to show them the block that they viewed if they answer yes. Whether this solution would work would depend on why they would want/need to go back. Good luck!

Question at a random position within a range

Hi @mojganaz , I don't know how this will work with the previous button, but this might work for you otherwise. You can create 5 identical blocks with the 1 question from set 2 and the 28 questions from set 1. Then in each of those blocks go to "question randomization" and "advanced randomization" and put the 1 question from set 2 into the first (green) box labeled "randomized questions" and all the rest of the questions into the second (blue) box labeled "random subset". Set the second box to randomly insert 4 question. (this should be the same in all 5 blocks) Next under "fixed display order" change the where the "{randomized}" question appears so that it is in a different location for each of the 5 blocks (i.e. in the first block it will be displayed first, in the second it will be displayed second, etc.). Then create 28 new blocks each with 1 of the questions from set 1 and another block with question 2 from set 2 (29 blocks total). Finally, go to the survey flow and create two

Is there a way to do timing at the block level?

Hi @timothygg I am sorry, but I can't seem to find the exact code I used to do this. It was in a block that I ended up deleting and replacing with something completely different. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

How to randomise a block of questions based on the order of randomisation of the previous block?

Hi @Fatou, If I am correctly understanding what you are trying to do then I have done what you are asking in a way that is similar to what is described above but using the loop and merge instead of survey flow. I'm not sure if it is easier or more difficult than what is described, but I hope it helps. You will need to have the questions in the first block randomized, either by using loop and merge or randomization in the survey flow. Then create an embedded data field for each order position (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.) and use the JavaScrip below to set all the fields to "No" (I put this JS into the instructions that precede the block). ! Then use the JavaScript that I have included below to save the information that needs to be presented in the next block (for you that would be the questions) into each of the embedded data fields based on the presentation order. Essentially what the code does is fill the first embedded data field with the first item presented then, when the next i

How to randomly present a picture and a question at the same time?

Hi @Jinghong, I believe that I have found a way of doing this. However, it is not very elegant and is somewhat time consuming to build. What you can do is create a separate Question and Block for each possible combination of pictures and questions (i.e. Question1Picture1, Question2Picture1, Question3Picture1 ... Question12Picture12). After you have done that, go into the Survey Flow and create a Randomizer with 12 additional Randomizers nested inside of it. Set the "parent" Randomizer to randomly present all 12 of the elements within it. Each of the 12 "child" Randomizers will be for 1 of the 12 picture. Nested inside each of the 12 "child" Randomizer you will need 12 Branches. These 12 Branches will be for each of the 12 questions. For example: The first Branch of the first Randomizer will have Question1Picture1. The second Branch will have Question2Picture1. The last Branch will have Question12Picture1. Set each of the 12 "child" Randomizers to present only 1 of the 12 nested B

Is there a way to record which random number was generated by the random integer command?

@Mohammedali_Rajapakar_Ugam That is a really clever suggestion! Unfortunately, when I tried it the value that shows in the question text is different from what is shown in the open-ended question. I think it's weird that this would happen, given that they are piped from the same field (${lm://Field/1}) during the same loop so they should be the exact same number. Below is what it looks like (I have the open-ended question visible so you can see the number). ! Thanks for the suggestion though!

Is there a way to record which random number was generated by the random integer command?

@TomG Sorry that my wording was a bit confusing; the number didn't change within the same loop but across the different loops such that for each loop a random number 1-6 was presented (the problem was that when I was saving it to the embedded data field it wasn't saving the same number that was presented). Your code works great! Because I have so many loops, I changed the JS code a bit to try to record each of the values into one embedded data field. Oddly now it is recording the first number presented twice and skipping the last one (all the rest are recorded correctly), but I think I should be able to fix that. Thanks for your help!

Change order of multiple options (likert) based on country/embedded data ?

I've assigned the same recode value to different answers in the same question before and it hasn't been an issue (although it probably wouldn't hurt to pilot it with a couple people first). When you download the data their answer should appear as the value (0-100) that you assigned.

I suggest using the display logic for each answer. First you would need to add a question that asks which country they are from, then add display logic to the responses. To add display logic click on the response (e.g. strongly agree) then click on the blue button with a down arrow that is next to it and select "add display logic" from the drop down menu. With display logic you will be able to decide which responses are shown based on the question about which country they are from. You can have all 10 of the responses that you list above as possible answers (strongly disagree, disagree, etc.) but only display the first five if they indicate that they are not from Germany and only show the other 5 if they indicate that they are in Germany.

What do the residual and Q-Q plots show?

I haven't used Stats iQ before but this is general information about residual and Q-Q plots: Residual plots and Q-Q plots are used to visually check that your data meets the homoscedasticity and normality assumptions of linear regression. A residual plot lets you see if your data appears homoscedastic. Homoscedasticity means that the residuals, the difference between the observed value and the predicted value, are equal across all values of your predictor variable. If your data are homoscedastic then you will see the points randomly scattered around the x axis. If they are not (e.g. if they form a curve, bowtie, fan etc.) then it suggests that your data doesn't meet the assumption. Q-Q plots let you check that the data meet the assumption of normality. They compare the distribution of your data to a normal distribution by plotting the quartiles of your data against the quartiles of a normal distribution. If your data are normally distributed then they should form an approximately s
