Data output from Scaled Responses (case 455)

Hello all,

I am in the process of converting a paper questionnaire into a media lab experiment. I'm using Media Lab 2008.1.11. There are some scaled responses on the paper questionnaire that must be coded as "0". For these scaled responses, I have renamed the first choice title to "0" rather than "1", because it is imperative that the data from this Media Lab questionnaire match previously collected data. However, the data recorded from these items doesn't correspond to the titles I assigned to the choices. Regardless of the choice title, "1" will be recorded for the first choice, "2" for the second choice, and so on. Is there any way to modify these items so that "0" will be recorded in the data if the choice is numbered "0"? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Matt

Hi Matt,

You can change the values recorded to the data files using the Item Wording field in your items. See this section of the MediaLab manual: [url]http://www.empirisoft.com/medialab/help/quelabels.htm[/url]
