Adding consent via pavlovia survey

Online experiments
1

Hi,

I want to add my consent form as an image at the beginning of my experiment. I was able to do this using Pavlovia’s Survey tool. After displaying the consent form image(s), I added a **Yes/no ** question that asks:

If you agree to above terms, please press the AGREE button to participate in this study. If you do not agree the above terms, please press the DO NOT AGREE button to exit the study.

Then I added a Read-Only message that says:

“You chose not to participate. Thank you for your time.”

This message is set to only appear if the participant selects “Do Not Agree.”

However, even if someone presses “Do Not Agree,” the “Complete” button still appears, and they can click it.

My plan is to embed this survey into the beginning of my PsychoPy experiment, but I want to make sure:

  • Participants who click “Do Not Agree” will exit the study (not proceed)
  • Only participants who click “Agree” will be allowed to continue

What is the correct way to implement this behavior?
Can I block or bypass the “Complete” button for non-consenters?

Thank you!

hi @wakecarter I watched your video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPXuHs5ykS4) on preventing participants from proceeding without consent, and I noticed you used a “hide navigation buttons” setting. However, I don’t see that option in my version of Pavlovia Surveys.

How can I ensure that participants who select “Do Not Consent” won’t proceed to the rest of the experiment? Only those who agree should be redirected to the experiment.

Is there a way to hide the “Complete” button or conditionally end the survey based on consent response? thank you very much!
