    Using the Ranking feature in media lab

    Hi.

    I am having a bit of difficulty with the ranking feature in media lab. I want participants to rank a list of names (most preferred to least preferred) including their own name.

    I plan to ask the participants their names at the start of the experiment in a general demographics questionnaire. Is there any way to then take their answer to the "What is your name?" question (A fill-in-the-blank item) and make that one of the text labels in my ranking questionnaire?

    Thanks

    Henry Pharo

    Hi Henry,

    This feature is completely supported within MediaLab. Within MediaLab you can insert the value of a subject's prior response to any fill-in-the blank or scale response item by typing the appropriate variable name surrounded by < > within any question wording text. For example, if you had previously asked subjects about their race using a fill-in-the-blank question or a scale response and you had called this variable race, then you could insert the subjects response in a subsequent question wording like this: What percentage of your friends are <race>? For scale responses, the text label of the selected response is used.

    This should also work for the ranking feature.

    Ranking

    Hi Newell

    Thanks for your replay, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

    I've attached a copy of the questionnaire that I'm trying to use, and I;m wondering if you could comment on the script, and whether there is anything that you can see I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Henry

    I am trying to use this with the ranking feature.
    So in the first question (variable name 'Ranking'), the participants will rank a list of words.
    In the next question, an essay, i'd like to include in the instructions what their #1 was. So I have tried <Ranking> but this does not work.

    Any help? Thank you.
