Need advice

[psychosocial]

Hi,
I am trying to run a study on Mturk for the first time and I have very little programming experience. Please tell me what the easiest way to learn to do this would be. What programming language should I learn to use: Command line or java script. and does anyone have examples I can use to get me started.

In principle it is not a complicated design. Most of it is questions and answers. The first part is a timed display of images with text. Then a test phase is when the same images and text should be displays with a question with that options.

I am sure I will be able to catch on if I learn the basics and can get an example.

I need to complete this study for my honors thesis and would really appreciate any help.

It'd probably easier to create a survey using a tool like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or Qualtrics. Then put the link to your survey in an MTurk HIT. You don't need to learn a programming language to do that.

This should help: http://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/how-to-publish-a-survey-on-mechanical-turk.299/

I have used qualtrics for the first half but this part has timed displays of images with text in a learning phase. Do you know how to do that on qualtrics?

Timed pages are pretty simple to set up in qualtrics. Do you need something more sophisticated than that?

I do not, but there might be something in the Qualtrics support information about that: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/faqs/survey/
