1. To use this program for first time, work through the following example with a factorial design of two sets of five adjectives. Type in the experiment name, Judgments of Likeableness, in the first row. For the shorter name, try like5x5. Don't enter quotes in any cells. This (shorter) name, like5x5, will be printed as the first variable (00exp) in the data file. The 5x5 will help to remember that this is a 5 x 5, Row by Col, factorial design.

2. The row and column factor names are not used in this program. Just enter Row and Col in the spaces for the names.

3. Enter 5 for the number of rows, and 5 for the number of columns. (This version of the program allows up to 12 levels of each factor, but you must keep the product of the number of rows and number of columns to be less than or equal to 92.)

4. For the row stimuli, enter the following adjectives in the first 5 rows. (Anything in later rows will not be used.)
phony, squeamish, blunt, informal, sincere
For the column stimuli, enter the following adjectives in the first 5 rows:
mean, listless, solemn, lighthearted, trustworthy

5. For the separator between factors, put in the word " and " (always without entering quotes, but notice that you should put in a leading and following space, i.e., space-and-space).

Change the number of Radio Buttons from 7 to the desired number (in this example, 9). Type in the enpoint labels of the response scale. In this example, enter Dislike Very Very Much for the Left End Label and Like Very Very Much for the Right End Label.

6. Press the Make the Form button. To view the survey in the browser, push the Display button.

7. Copy the entire contents of the text box to your text editor (e.g., NotePad, SimpleText, TextEdit, or BBEdit), and save it as a text file, with the extension of .htm or .html. For example, you could save it with the name, likeExpt1.htm.

8. If you would like another random order of trials, push Make the Form again. Copy the text box to a new file, and save it under a different name, for example, likeExp2.htm. You can create different random orders this way.

9. Replace the words, "(put your instructions here)" with the instructions for the task. This editing can be done in the HTML window of factorWiz or in the Text Editor. For example, in this case, you could use the following instructions:

This is a study of how people form impressions of personality. Each trial below lists two personality trait adjectives. Imagine that each trial represents a different person. Each adjective has been contributed by a different acquaintance who knows that person well. Sometimes people don't agree in how they would describe a person. Your task is to imagine a person who would be described by both adjectives, and rate how much you would like that person. Make your ratings on the following scale:

1=dislike very very much
2=dislike very much
3=dislike
4=dislike slightly
5=neutral (neither like nor dislike)
6=like slightly
7=like
8=like very much
9=like very very much
