(2009). When Nonsense Sounds Happy or Helpless: The Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test (IPANAT). Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 97, 500–516. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Participants are presented 6 surveypages for 6 nonsense words. Each surveypage contains 6 Likert Scales: 3 scales to rate how well positive adjectives describe the current nonsense word and 3 scales to rate how well negative adjectives desribe the current nonsense word. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes appr. 3 minutes to complete ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA FILE INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default data stored in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'ipanat.iqdat' date, time: date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber subject, group, session: with the current subject/groupnumber/session id build: the Inquisit build q*_response: response given (in assigned values) Scale: 1 (doesn't fit at all) - 4 (fits very well) No reversed scored questions q*_latency: how much time (in ms) the participant spent on the surveypage with this particular question (the last time this particular surveypage was visited) (2) Summary data file: 'ipanat_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant) inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startDate: date script was run startTime: time script was started subjectid: assigned subject id number groupid: assigned group id number sessionid: assigned session id number elapsedTime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) meanPA1- meanNA3: Mean rating for each of the 6 adjectives (P = positive, N = negative) => the higher the mean ratings the more participant judged the particular positive/negative adjectives to 'describe' the nonsense words. meanPA: Mean rating for the Positive adjectives => the higher the mean rating the more participant judged positive adjectives to 'describe' the nonsense words. meanNA: Mean rating for the Negative adjectives => the higher the mean rating the more participant judged negative adjectives to 'describe' the nonsense words. , ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ QUESTIONNAIRE SET-UP ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (a) 6 surveypages shown in the following order 1. SAFME 2. VIKES 3. TUNBA 4. TALEB 5. BELNI 6. SUKOV * To randomize the order of the surveypages, go to section SURVEY and follow instructions. (b) the order of the adjectives is the same for all nonsense words: pos1 -> neg1 -> pos2 -> neg2 -> pos3 -> neg3 To randomize the order of the adjectives, go to section SURVEYPAGES and follow instructions. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ STIMULI ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The adjectives can be edited under section EDITABLE STIMULI ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Instructions are original and are presented via an html page ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.
