Guest - sounds like an interesting research project. I can help you look into it, if you'd like... :P ;)

It is interesting to consider how the attribution of free will to the car, will effect the trust given to it and what "features" will effect these attributions.

Guest - yeah, i'm still not sure where people draw the line for something to become an accountable and morally responsible being. there are those, like some of the neuroscientists, who argue that your argument also holds for humans - that we are nothing but machines whose actions and decisions can be predicted up to 7 seconds in advance using brain scans (examples - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sci... ; http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01... ).

From what i've read so far in the experimental philosophy literature it seems that the attribution of moral responsibility is quite flexible and is more related to the need people have to attribute blame than it is to the features of the will of the target being evaluated. In the case of the self-driving google car it's a bit more tricky to apply blame to anyone, so might as well put it on the car.

It is amazing. Why should a car be more "responsible" for an accedent then an oven over cooking a cake.... perhaps the futurestic taste of the idea makes the "car" more human than the day to day machine.

Emma - I suggest trying the Inquisit forums for help on these issues. I'm not an Inquisit expert, I'm afraid.

Hi, I have a basic question - but I thought you might be able to help. I'm designing a picture stimulus IAT with inquisit and can't seem to upload images as stimuli - does anybody know how to do this? I have entered the file name by hand but I get a 'don't recognise file path' message like this" / items = targetA / please verify that the target path xxxx is correct" (the file path is correct!)

Inquisit has a web version - http://www.millisecond.com/pro... but it costs money.

you could also try and contact project Implicit. https://implicit.harvard.edu/i... . they are sometimes willing to collaborate with other researchers and they'll take care of the technicalities for you.

there's no tutorial you can read that will help you set that online IAT up if you're not proficient with web development, which you obviously aren't. better found someone who is.

good luck.

Do you have a tutorial on how to do this?

I need to design my own IAT and preferably distribute it across the internet. Do you have any other suggestions on what I could use? I installed Inquisit and made a script for my IAT, is there anywhere that I can use this script for distribution over internet?

Mona - I suggest contacting the people behind the app. I have very little experience with this.

Rachel - you need to know a thing or two about how PHP/HTML/JScript server side applications work. you need a server or a host that supports those standards (probably your university tech staff can help), you then upload the files to the server and access the main index file through a web browser. Anyways, you need someone who knows about tech to help you with those.

Re: Implicit Association Test Experiment Software

Rachel — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:45:51 -0000

None of these worked. When i downloaded them, I just got a load of files, like instruction pages, but not an actual application for it. Have I missed something?

Re: Implicit Association Test Experiment Software

Fili — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:51:46 -0000

Sena - yeah, that's tricky. I've actually done that, but it requires a great deal of technical expertise, with some HTML/PHP/JAVASCRIPT programming and an indepth knowledge of the Qualtrics mechanism i describe in the post here (passing on variables, embed variables, etc.). I would recommend using the WebIAT platform.

If you don't have those skills my recommendation would be to get in touch with the Project Implicit people and see how to work with them.

Sena — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:49:03 -0000

Hi, what would you recommend if I am trying to embed an IAT into a Qualtrics study? I have limited technical experienced but collaborate with people with more. Thank you!

Re: Quick Qualtrics Tricks #1

Fili — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:53:52 -0000

Ananda - I'm not a qualified Qualtrics expert, so you might want to ask the support team, but the way I would do this is trigger a Javascript open new window (http://www.w3schools.com/jsref... and embed this within the Qualtircs survey (http://www.qualtrics.com/unive.... How does that sound?

Re: Quick Qualtrics Tricks #1

Ananda — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:39:32 -0000

Hi I was wondering if you'd know how to direct them to a site, let them see what the website is like, how to navigate it etc, and direct them back to the survey again?

Is it possible to direct them to a site, within the survey so that they can finish the survey?

Thanks

keith - it's not theoretical, i've done that before and it's actually not that difficult. there are endless guides out there on how to integrate a webpage as an app or a FB page and it only takes about 5 minutes.
not sure what you're referring to when you mention "rsl news feed" or "rsl link".

Re: Quick Qualtrics Tricks #1

keith goldstein — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:31:56 -0000

what fb page can you use with a ssl version of the survey? currently users must do the survey outside of fb. is there an app that would work with qualtrics within fb? or is this theoretical? another issue is the rsl news feed update. how do i add an rsl link to the survey?

Re: Designing Academic Conference Posters

Nathan — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 04:01:12 -0000

I don't know about anyone else's experience but I found myself obsessing over my powerpoint for Academy last year only to find out at the end that the session chair would prefer us not to use powerpoint - what I mean to say is that I wonder if the people looking at the posters appreciate the amount of work it takes to put them together.

The studies are part of the paper, so read it. If you can't find access to a copy of the article, contact me and I'll send it to you.

Very good one,
Liked your idea of developing a seminar course for self-study and then to share with all.

Are there any such more courses available in the area of OB ?

I will also try to prepare something like this for one of the topic.

More-over liked the blog , very few blogs are there dedicated to OB/OT area, will keep following..
