Note: for Males: the upper score reported is 81.4 (100%) - in this script: anything above 81.4 receives a rank of 100% Guilt: Guilt Score = mean score of all 10 guilt (G) questions (0-100) Guilt_percentile: the percentile of the Guilt Score based on normative data published in Table 3, p. 516, in Benton et al (1998) and linear interpolation for the gender indicated (!default is female in this script!) Note: for Males: the upper score reported is 70.6 (100%) and for Females it is 79.5 (100%)- in this script: anything above these scores receives a rank of 100% Functional: Functional Score = mean score of all 4 functional (F) questions (0-100) Functional_percentile: the percentile of the Functional Score based on normative data published in Table 3, p. 516, in Benton et al (1998) and linear interpolation for the gender indicated (!default is female in this script!) Note: for Males: the upper score reported is 97.0 (100%) and for Females it is 99.7 (100%)- in this script: anything over these scores receives a rank of 100% ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ QUESTIONNAIRE SET-UP & SCORING ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 24 slider questions (0-100 points): * 10 Guilt questions => the mean score is the Guilt Score * 10 Craving questions => the mean score is the Craving Score * 4 Functional questions => the mean score is the Functional Score NORMS normative data published in Benton et al (1998), p.516 (table 3); based on N = 330 (Females: N=226; Males: N=104), with Craving: Female: Mean = 46.8 (SD = 21.8); Male: Mean = 29.5 (SD = 19.4) Guilt: Female: Mean = 44.6 (SD = 21.8); Male: Mean = 21.2 (SD = 15.5) Functional: Female: Mean = 16.1 (SD = 7.3); Male: Mean = 15.6 (SD = 7.9) percentiles reported in this script are based on the reported percentile categories and the process of linear interpolation ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ can be edited under section EDITABLE PARAMETERS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EDITABLE CODE ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ check below for (relatively) easily editable parameters, stimuli, instructions etc. Keep in mind that you can use this script as a template and therefore always "mess" with the entire code to further customize your experiment.
