Hi all,

I was wondering if I can get some advice on setting up a Loop & Merge study and whether there is an approach I can take to make analysing the data much simpler.

I am looking to put together a project whereby participants can view two items and their task is to rate the similarity (1-10) of the two. 

I have tried to conduct something similar in the past using Loop & Merge, but the output ended up being very unruly. For this, I had some JS that took items from a master list and placed them in their positions (i.e., left or right hand side of the screen for participants to just similarity). The information I could only put in the master list were the Qualtrics IDs from the library which, since they cannot be renamed (i.e., F=F_XXXXXX), makes it very unclear as to what each combination is. This can get worse with more items and therefore more combinations. 

This project was some time ago, and I was wondering as to whether anyone has had better luck with a set-up for something similar that made data analysis easier to understand? 

Obviously, this can be something that could be done manually, but that would take a very very long time to set-up for each potential combination if there are a relatively large number of items.

Any thoughts, ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
