Remarks

The likert element controls the timing and the content of stimulus presentation as well as the appearance and behavior of the likert scale used to obtain ratings. Every time a likert element is executed, a line of data is written to the data file. Likert supports responding by keyboard (number and arrow keys to select a response, and ENTER key to submit it) or mouse (click the response button to submit a response). The default is mouse input.

Examples

The following shows a five point likert scale at the bottom of the screen with evaluative labels:

<likert ratingquestion>
/ stimulusTimes=[0=myText]
/ anchors=[1="excellent"; 2="good"; 3="satisfactory"; 4="bad"; 5="awful"]
/ position=(50, 90)
</likert>
