Slider - prevent empty responses using button

[LuisaZ]

Hi there,

I’m using the slider component in my experiment. Participants are allowed to make multiple changes after giving the first rating. Once they are ready for the next trial, they can press a “continue” button using the mouse. I noticed that participants can skip the trial without giving a rating by pressing the continue button, is there any code that can prevent that?

I know the code for using the space bar to end the trial, but I’m not sure how it can be changed to fit in my experiment.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello

does this work for you?

Making Button Appear only after Slider Ratings

OS: Win11 PsychoPy version: 2022.1.1 What are you trying to achieve?: I currently have a routine containing five sliders and a “Next Button”. I want the next button to appear only when the participant has made ratings on all five of the slider scales. This prevents participants from simply clicking through the screens by spamming the Next button without actually making any ratings What did you try to make it work?: I have already managed to make this work by typing the following into the St…

alternatively you could try if setting the start time of your button to condition instead of a time and use slider.rating as the condition.

Best wishes Jens

Hi Jens, the code suggested in the post didn’t work for me but using slider.rating as condition worked! Thank you so much!!
