Continuous Sliding Scale

[laciriaco]

Hi Jeremy!

I’ve been trying to get a code for a continuous sliding scale in an acceptability judgment test, but only found one for a discrete scale. Is there a way of doing it continuous?

Thank you!

Larissa.

Hi Larissa,

True continuity doesn’t really exist in the digital world (does it even exist in the non-digital world?) 😉

Use a high value for the number of points, eg. 1000: newScale(1000).slider().print()

Hi Jeremy, thanks for answering!

I wonder if it’s possible to use a high value with a 7-point scale, though. I would have to convert the results manually later, right?

Hi,

If what you want is provide the user with 7 points visually, you could do that (replace the two occurrences of 10em with whatever width you prefer):

newText("<span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span><span>4</span><span>5</span><span>6</span><span>7</span>")
    .css({display:"flex", "justify-content": "space-between"})
    .size("10em","auto")
    .center()
    .print()
,
newScale(100).size("10em","auto").slider().center().log().print()

Then in your analyses, you can simply multiply the score by 0.07 and round it if you like
