BACKGROUND INFO
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This script implements a template for a Demographic Survey in the US.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DATA FILE INFORMATION
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The default data stored in the data files are:
(1) Raw datafile: 'demographics.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant)
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)
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: 'demographics_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant)
computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android)
script.startdate: date script was run
script.starttime: time script was started
script.subjectid: assigned subject id number
script.groupid: assigned group id number
script.sessionid: assigned session id number
script.elapsedtime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script
script.completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted);
1 = script was completed (all conditions run)
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
QUESTIONNAIRE SET-UP
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The template provides questions for:
- age
- gender
- ethnicity
- raceorigin
- education
- employmentstatus
- marital status
- household members
- household income
- region
All individual questions can be edited under section "QUESTIONS"
All surveypage elements can be edited under section "SURVEYPAGES"
The survey can be edited under section "SURVEY"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
The parameters you can change are:
/pageinstructions: the instructions that appear at the top of each surveypage
/quitinstructions: the instructions to quit the questionnaire
Note: the quitcommand can be changed under DEFAULTS
</usermanual>

Where did I go wrong? Instead of posting snippets of code, please attach the actual script. Further, I cannot answer where you went wrong if you don't explain what actually doesn't work.
