Hi all, 

I am working on a survey for my PhD project. In this survey, I would like to have an array based question where respondents have to indicate on a 5pt Likert scale to what extent they agree with the presented statement. To limit response bias, I would like these statements to be presented in a random order. In the set of statements I would like to include however, some subtopic or clusters can be identified. Because it does not make sense for the respondent to first think of a statement related to topic A, then one on B followed by one on A again, I would like to see the randomization based on clusters. Such that both the order of the clusters, as well as the sub-questions within a cluster are random (see the small diagram below for a representation). Does anyone know how I can go about this? I already tried to create multiple arrays, but that way the general question also gets presented on a random location because it is attached to a single array. Any help is appreciated. 

Kind regards, 
Dennis Andreoli

Example: 3 clusters: with 3 statements each:Cluster A

•                Statement A1
•                Statement A2
•                Statement A3

Cluster B

•                Statement B1
•                Statement B2
•                Statement B3

Cluster C

•                Statement C1
•                Statement C2
•                Statement C3

 Randomization as follows:FORMULATION OF QUESTION / EXPLAINATION OF TASKCluster B

•                Statement B3
•                Statement B2
•                Statement B1

Cluster A

•                Statement A2
•                Statement A1
•                Statement A3

Cluster C

•                Statement C3
•                Statement C1
•                Statement C2

Hi,
insert this script into the question text (source code mode) (adapted from an idea of Tony Partner)

Hi Joffm,

Thanks a lot, it is working. Do you know of a way to 'fix' the background color alternation of the answer options by any chance?

Dennis

See here - forums.limesurvey.org/forum/search?query...artner&childforums=1

(Scroll down to "Fix up the row background colours")

Thanks! In a different question where I use the same system, I wanted to repeat the array header after each subquestion. When using the scripts provided by Joffm and yourself, the 'normal' repeat headers setting in the question settings does not work anymore.

Any way to resolve this? Thanks in advance!

Use your own "headers.


And some styling
