Is there a way, with the thought listing item type, to require participants to provide a minimum number of responses while allowing for more if they have them? For example, can we set up the program so that participants must provide at least 5 responses but can provide up to 15?
[same answer as above]
Your suggestion is close to what we've done so far, so I guess we're on the right track. We have two trial types set up: one for 5 responses, and a second for 10 responses and the option to Esc whenever they want. But this brings up another question: Is it possible to *not* have the item number come up in front of the response text box? The second set of response boxes starts with a "1" in front of it, and we're concerned that participants will mistakenly think that they have to type in the same words again. Not a big deal, really, because we can just delete repeated responses from the analysis, but just not ideal. Any thought?
No formal way, but I just tried a trick that seems to work. Add a left parameter to your thought listing to move it toward the edge of the screen. It prevents the number from showing. e.g., (n5,l1)
