Informed consent with custom button-response options

[joseluisulloafulgeri]

Hi all,

I know we can customize the language for the instructions and the text in the button-response options,
I was wondering if it could be possible to do the same for the informed consent,

Any hint on how do this would be really appreciated,

best,
Jose

Hi Jose,

What informed consent are you referring to? Are you using a particular platform that has informed consent built in?

Hi Josh,
Sorry for the ambiguity in my question. I'm using Cognition.run and in this platform there is a place to include a informed consent. I realize now this is not directly related to JSPsych. So, is probably the wrong place to ask the question. However, I guess one could create a informed consent using JSPsych to elaborate a informed consent, right?

Yep, absolutely! The html-button-response plugin is a good option for this. You can make an HTML-formatted document for your consent agreement, and then have buttons at the bottom for various options. If someone declines, you could end the experiment with jsPsych.endExperiment(). Or you could have only an agree button and ask the participant to close the window if they do not want to consent. This is my typical approach, but I know different IRBs have different guidelines about what is allowed.
