# jspsych-survey-multi-choice plugin
|
|
|
|
The survey-multi-choice plugin displays a set of questions with multiple choice response fields. The subject selects a single answer.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
This table lists the parameters associated with this plugin. Parameters with a default value of *undefined* must be specified. Other parameters can be left unspecified if the default value is acceptable.
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Type | Default Value | Description
|
|
----------|------|---------------|------------
|
|
questions | array | *undefined* | An array of strings. The strings are the prompts/questions that will be associated with a group of options (radio buttons). All questions will get presented on the same page (trial).
|
|
options | array | *undefined* | An array of arrays. The innermost arrays contain a set of options to display for an individual question. The length of the outer array should be the same as the number of questions.
|
|
required | array | null | An array of boolean values. Each boolean indicates if a question is required (`true`) or not (`false`), using the HTML5 `required` attribute. The length of this array should correspond to the length of the questions array. If this parameter is undefined, all questions will be optional. Note: The HTML5 `required` attribute is [not currently supported by the Safari browser][1].
|
|
horizontal | boolean | false | If true, then questions are centered and options are displayed horizontally.
|
|
preamble | string | empty string | HTML formatted string to display at the top of the page above all the questions.

|
responses | JSON string | A string in JSON format containing the response for each question. The encoded object will have a separate variable for the response to each question, with the first question in the trial being recorded in `Q0`, the second in `Q1`, and so on. The responses are recorded as the name of the option label.
|
|
rt | numeric | The response time in milliseconds for the subject to make a response. The time is measured from when the questions first appear on the screen until the subject's response.
