how to randomise questions/images but make sure no repeats | XM Community
Skip to main content

 

There are 12 images and 12 statements. but technically there are only six images as the images are similar.

in the study there are original vs manipulated versions of six photos. making twelve in total, but participants can only see one version of each photo. 

there are also 12 statements, each of the six images has a true and false matching statement. but again a participant should only ever see one of the versions of the statement. 

I need to create a survey where participants are asked five questions in total.

One question (the first) will be a statement by itself

The other four will be a statement accompanied by an image. 

I need to find a way to randomize which four combinations of statement w/image the participant will see, while also ensuring that the one statement by itself the participant will see isn’t a repeat 

I know to randomize the images w statements i can put the each image type and the corresponding true/false original/manipulated combinations in separate blocks (creating six blocks in total)  and advance randomize for each block which singular combinaition gets, but the issue lies with how to randomize the statements that will be without an image/by itself without getting repeat statements asked (as the statements will all be the same and therefore could appear later on accompanied by an image).

another issue lies in the fact i need participants to only see five questions; one only a statement and four statement w image. With my images in different blocks, i cant find how to set it so that only a total of five questions are asked one from each block.

Thanks for any help

@asdfghjkl2912 if you are using different blocks for each statements w/wo image, you can use randomizer in survey flow to handle this.

You can setup logic in survey flow similar to below diagram. Here Statement 1A and Statment 1B are different versions of those statements.

Randomize All blocks
  Randomly Select 1
    Statement 1A
    Statement 1B
     
  Randomly Select 1
    Statement 2A
    Statement 2B
     
  Randomly Select 1
    Statement 3A
    Statement 3B
     
     
  Randomly Select 1
    Statement 4A
    Statement 4B

Hi sorry, I can't randomize all the blocks together as i need only one statement from each block. 

If i randomize the blocks separately to ensure this then i don't know how to 

no.1 make sure only five total questions are asked 

no.2 make sure that statements aren’t repeated (as the participants will be asked one question that involves one of the statements no images); if the statement options w no images are  in a separate block i don't how to make sure the statements aren’t repeated later on; but if they aren’t in a separate block i don’t know how to ensure all participants get asked one question of a statement without any images 

@asdfghjkl2912 would you be able to share a screenshot of how it is setup currently? I think that will help to understand the challenge.

Hi sorry for the late reply, for each block i have it set up to randomize the order and only present one of the possible questions.

there is the statements only block,

then three other image blocks (i haven’t added the last two image blocks yet but by the end of it, there will be six image blocks) 

also for the statement only block it currently says only two questions but by the end there will be 12

 

Thanks again for the help!
