Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.6K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Response Surface Methodology01:16

Response Surface Methodology

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a collection of statistical and mathematical techniques used to develop, improve, and optimize processes. It is particularly valuable when many input variables or factors potentially influence a response variable.
The process of RSM involves several key steps:

Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

6.4K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

15.3K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Longitudinal Research

11.8K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Survey Methodology
  • Data Quality

Background:

  • Online surveys commonly use quantitative attention checks.
  • Qualitative responses can also indicate participant inattention.
  • Assessing response originality offers a novel screening method.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of using originality checks on open-ended survey responses to identify inattentive participants.
  • To determine if participants providing copied responses exhibit lower data quality.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Turnitin™ software to assess the originality of open-ended responses in four mixed-method online surveys.
  • Analyzed data from 3,771 participants, examining indicator reliability and internal consistency reliability.
  • Compared reliability metrics between participants with copied responses and those with original responses.

Main Results:

  • 18-35% of participants provided responses flagged for originality issues (copied text).
  • Participants with copied responses demonstrated lower indicator reliability and internal consistency.
  • Original responses correlated with higher scale consistency, suggesting greater participant attention.

Conclusions:

  • Originality checks on qualitative survey responses are a viable method for screening inattentive participants.
  • This method can improve the overall quality and reliability of online survey data.
  • Further research should explore reducing copying behaviors and understanding participant motivations for online information seeking.
