Does the IAT still work with Qualtrics?

[Stephanie Ray]

Hi, I had set up a test survey on Qualtrics but it no longer seems to be working. I've re-tried with the test text on https://minnojs.github.io/blog/2020/03/05/running-project-implicits-iat-from-qualtrics/  but that's not working either.  

Is anyone else having problems? 

Thanks

Hi Steph, 

We have stopped supporting the Qualtrics scripts, so although it's probably still working fine, we don't know that for sure, because we're not testing it anymore.

Here you can read more about the alternative that we provide instead of the Qualtrics extensions. That alternative allows running an IAT study with no need to pay for any specific platform, such as Qualtrics. It means that you can redirect your participants to the IAT study from a Qualtrics study or from any other other platform (e.g., directly from Sona). It is also possible to redirect participants back to your study at the end of the IAT.

Hi Yoav, 

Unfortunately, it didn't seem possible to divert people to an external platform to complete a study (people don't know their ID number and vendors don't like it as ppl drop out).  So we persevered with trying to integrate the code. 

We've just managed to do it (though can't find a way to hide the text box above the IAT, ideas welcome!) so I thought I'd share the code as this downloads successfully. 

This is for the weight IAT: 

best wishes
