Description
Identify the version of a psychological-scale item.
Experimental-psychology records separate condition labels, declared masking, timing assumptions, response rules and reward realizations. A supplied random draw can be evaluated without generating randomness, and a threshold comparison does not verify preregistration or establish statistical significance. Experimental validity needs the complete design and source observations.
Identify the version of a psychological-scale item.
When to use this tool
Use Psychological Scale Item Version when checking the stated benign experiment record, timing, allocation or payoff convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter scaleCode, itemCode, version. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty psychological scale, item and version codes. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| scaleCode | Scale Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| itemCode | Item Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| version | Literal version text; no semantic ordering or current-version lookup. | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"scaleCode": "SC17",
"itemCode": "Q3",
"version": "v2"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"SC17\",\"Q3\",\"v2\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No validated instrument, item meaning, scoring, translation equivalence or clinical interpretation is determined.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified protocols, calibrated timing, appropriate complete statistical methods and responsible participant/ethics review for actual experimental conclusions.
