Scoring: 1. Reversed Scoring: ATQ2R,5R,8R,29R,40R,50R,53R,60R,63R,72R 2. Script counts how many ACV/ATT/INH items are responses other than "NA" 3. Script sums up all ACV/ATT/IHN items and divides them by their respective non-"NA" number of responses Note: in this script, NA responses are coded with 0 (so that NA-answers do not affect ACV, ATT, INH scores) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ can be changed 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.
