Online Mousetrap Experiment

Cppfnc

Hello!

I am currently working on my thesis project which investigates the degree of beliefs of religious statements in the context of action-dynamics responses. Me and my research supervisor, Dr @moreno Coco have looked with great interest at the Mousetrap in Opensesame and hoped to use it to conduct such research. 

I was supposed to conduct my research with live participant, but due to the Covid-19 emergency I will not have the opportunity to do so. Therefore, I wanted to ask you if it somehow possible to use the this method of research online, perhaps sending out a link to participants? or with the use of a osexp format?

Any ideas?

Thank you,

@Pascal @sebastiaan

Hi Francesca,

For the foreseeable future, the mouse trap functionality will not be available in Osweb, so running your study online won't work that easily, I am afraid. I'm myself not very experienced with osweb, so I also don't have much advise to go about it.

Sorry,

Hi Francesca,

as Eduard already pointed out (thanks for the answer!) there is unfortunately currently no online support of the mousetrap-plugin for OSWeb.

However, Felix Henninger and I (mostly Felix) are currently working on a mousetrap plugin for lab.js (https://lab.js.org/), another free online study builder. The beta version of the plugin was included in its latest release as of version 20.0.0 (https://github.com/FelixHenninger/lab.js/releases), so you can already use it in the builder (https://labjs.felixhenninger.com/). However, there is currently no online documentation available as far as I recall - if you are interested you could reach out to Felix (@mezzopiano), so he could provide you with a preview.

Best,

Pascal
