DATA OUTPUT DICTIONARY
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________	 
The fields in the data files are:

(1) Raw data file: 'MAIA_2.iqdat'

date, time:						date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber 
subject, group, session:	  	with the current subject/groupnumber/session id
build:							the Inquisit build 

q*_response:					response given (in assigned values)
									Scale: 0(never)-5(always)
									R = automatically reversed scored questions
									
q*_latency:						how much time (in ms) the participant spent on the surveyPage with this particular 
								question (the last time this particular surveyPage was visited)

(2) Summary data file: 'MAIA_2_summary.iqdat' (Inquisit Lab: one data file per participant)

inquisit.version:				Inquisit version run
computer.platform:				the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android)
startDate:						date script was run
startTime:						time script was started
subjectId:						assigned subject id number
groupId:						assigned group id number
sessionId:						assigned session id number
elapsedTime:					time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script
completed:						0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 
								1 = script was completed (all conditions run)

Subscale scores: the higher the scores the more positive the body awareness (Range: 0-5)

noticing: 						mean of (q1,q2,q3,q4)
notDistracting: 				mean of (q5R,q6R,q7R,q8R,q9R,q10R) R=reversed scored
