[open] Using multiple choice options that influence what will happen next in the experiment
Hi,
In one of my experiments, I want people to be able to either answer yes or no to a question by means of text boxes (I was thinking of using the multiple choice option). However, after that I want the experiment to look differently for both groups (people answering yes vs. people answering no). Is there a way to achieve this? The question I want to ask my participants is whether they have gotten complaints during the task. in case of 'yes' the task should stop afterwards. In case of answering 'no' the task should go on by showing a fixation point. After the fixation point, I want to use a black screen to make it seem as if the program crashes/stops working, because no one should be going on with the task (it is a cover story). Can someone tell me if it is somehow possible to achieve this? Most important part that I am struggling with is giving different outcomes to the next part of the experiment depending on what participants answer.
I hope my question is clear. Thank in advance 
!

Hi Isabella,
You could end your experiment with the following structure:
The key is the Run if statement, which is explained in greater detail here. This page is useful too; it's on If statements in general.
Good luck!
