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

(1) Raw data file: 'rfq8.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 1-7, no rescoring/reversed scoring of raw data)
								see summary data file for rescored data
								
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: 'rfq8_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)

rfqC:							Certainty about Mental States
								=> rescoring of q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6 responses into values.RFQ_c1-values.RFQ_c6
								with 1 = 3; 2 = 2; 3 = 1; 4+ = 0
								=> mean of the rescored RFQ_c values = RFQ_c
								
rfqU:							Uncertainty about Mental States 
								=> rescoring of q2, q4, q5, q6, q8 responses into values.RFQ_u2-values.RFQ_u8
								with 4 and below = 0, 5 = 1, 6 = 2, 7 = 3
								=> rescoring of q7 into values.RFQ_u with
								with 1 = 3; 2 = 2; 3 = 1; 4+ = 0
								=> mean of the rescored RFQ_u values => RFQ_u
							
+ original & rescored responses								
example:
radioButtons.q1.response:		original response
rfqc1:							rescored response (see above)
