Hi everyone,
I just emailed admin and had my ban lifted. I am sorry not to have explained this better before posting/not being available to respond to any queries or problems people had.
Firstly, the survey is only intended to be used in a clinical sense and is not at all designed for commercial use.
Secondly, the videos used were uploaded from youtube to Qualtrics (the survey software used to create the online platform) because youtube videos are compatible with most internet browsers. These videos are not spam, the first is designed to be a neutral cue and the second, a gambling cue.
Finally, in terms of the video cues - one can only move forward to the next page once the 3-minute video has completed - an arrow will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This is now stated on the page where each video is displayed. Sorry if this caused some confusion.
It would be fantastic if anyone could complete the survey but I understand that it's 15 minutes that most of you probably don't have! If you do have the time though it would be greatly appreciated and will hopefully lead to some interesting results.
Thanks again,
Charlie.
