Dear community,

I am currently building a quite big questionnaire for my master thesis.

Within this thesis I have 3 treatmens conaining of 6 question groups and several questions:

t1_pp t1_q t1_v t1_n t1_k
t2_pp t2_q t2_v t2_n t2_k
t3_pp t3_q t3_v t3_n t3_k

Now it is necessary that one user only gets one treatment collection (t1 or t2 or t3) shown.

The selection which treatment is shown should be randomized.

So for example:

user 1: t3_pp t3_q t3_v t3_n t3_k
user 2: t2_pp t2_q t2_v t2_n t2_k
user 3: t2_pp t2_q t2_v t2_n t2_k
user 4: t1_pp t1_q t1_v t1_n t1_k
...

The survey is set that question groups are shown.

Unfortunately I am not confident enough in programming to set the Relevance equation to fit my needs

May anyone please help me where to start?

Thank you very much in advance

Create an equation question - code randNum - and place this expression in it. This expression will load randNum with a random number between 1 and 3.

Then conditions can be based on that question.

Hi tpartner,

thank you very very much for your great help

so I will give each question group these condition?

But does this shuffle the groups like this?

user 1: t3_pp t3_q t3_v t3_n t3_k
user 2: t2_pp t2_q t2_v t2_n t2_k
user 3: t2_pp t2_q t2_v t2_n t2_k
user 4: t1_pp t1_q t1_v t1_n t1_k

I dont want t1 and t2 mixed for one user!

Do you know how I mean?

Or does this condition mean it generates a random number between 1 and 3 and then selects the group which got a randomize number equal to the one generated?

For example:

I give all Treatment question groups the following randimize numbers(because other numbers already used):

t1 - 11
t2 - 12
t3 - 13

Now I make the equation like:

{if(randNum >= 0, randNum , rand(11,13))}

Does this mean if the random number 12 is generated it only shows t2 question types?
Are they shuffled then too?

Thank you very much for your help

Ok, I got it Thanks a lot for your help

Hi again,

I am currently in the pretest phase and want to switch to a within subject design.

Is it possible that I modify this equation so that the variable "randnumber" is always 1 and 2 and 3?

if(randnumber > 0, randnumber, rand(1, 3))

I want that I don't need to modify each question group again, thats why I want to store all three numbers in "randnumber".


Is there any way of doing so?

Thank you very much for your help

No, by definition you can only store one value.
