I have constructed a survey with simple randomization. Participants view a photo of a child and answer 4 questions about the photo. This is repeated across 4 child photos and the order in which the child photos are presented is randomized for each participant.
I have a batch of data from this survey but would like to confirm how Inquisit output treats these randomized photos.
In the output, the results come out in order (e.g., survey page1_responses, survey page 2_responses, survey page 3_responses, survey page 4_responses). Is this output presented while ignoring the randomized order a participant received? For example, are all responses under "survey page 1_responses" of the same child? Or were these the ratings that participants provided to the first child that they saw, and responses here would refer to different children depending on the randomized order?
I am also wondering if there is a way to know which randomized order each participant received.
I have pasted the script for this task. The survey pages called "ratings1, ratings2, ratings3, ratings4" are what are presented randomly (where ratings1 = the page with child 1 photo).
Since, for example, ratings1 is programmed to show child photo 1, I think this means that all ratings1_responses will be about the same child (ignoring randomization), but I just want to be sure.
Thank you!
