Fake Chatbot Inquiry

Hi, I am now sure how "Branch Logic" and "Skip Logic" can help to build the "fake chatting room". I Below is a detailed description of my proposed study. You can read from the second paragraph starting with "Then": The study will be described as examining how people with different personalities form impressions of and interact with others on social media. Once participants read and sign the informed consent form, they will be told that they will interact remotely with another student and will conduct a series of tasks with that student. In fact, there will be no other student and all participants will work individually. Next, participants will be asked basic demographic questions (e.g., gender, major) before they meet another participant (i.e., partner). A few seconds later, they will be told that they are paired up with a partner. Because envy is more likely to occur when compared with a similar other (Smith & Kim, 2007), the partner will be described as a Baruch student of the same gender, academic major, and year in school, as the participants. Also, the name of the post owner will be kept constant as Sam, a common gender-neutral name in the U.S. Then, participants will be directed to a virtual chatting room where they will wait for Sam for 15 seconds. Once they see Sam enter the chatting room, they will chat with Sam for 30 seconds. In fact, a chatbot will display pre-designated generic messages to the participants (e.g., ‘Hello, nice to meet you’). This procedure is to make participants believe the existence of their ostensible partner. Specifically, participants will talk about what they did during Spring break. Once participants submit their responses to the chatting room, they will receive the pre-designed message saying "I went to Cancun because my parents bought me an airplane ticket and all-exclusive hotel fee.", which is an envy manipulation method. Could you give me more advice regarding how I can embed the fake chatting room in Qualtrics? Best, Ashley

Hello Ashley, I hope everything went well in your research. I also have the same question! I wonder if you might kindly share if you could embed the fake chatroom in your qualtrics survey? Your kind suggestion would be really helpful. Sincerely Tushti

@Tushti Actually, I hired a freelancer from a freelancing website to build up a website using CSS + HTML + Javascript + SQL. Then, I embedded it to the Qualtrics using iFrame function. If I am doing this again, I would ask my freelancer to build the website using HTML only (so that I can easily embed it into Qualtrics). Sorry that I can't give you the exact answer you want, but I can say that to build up this complicated system on Qualtrics, you need to develop HTML outside of Qualtrics and embed to Qualtrics. Hope this helps! Good luck with your research. Best, Ashley
