Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Online Research Methodologies

Background:

  • Online research, particularly in eating disorders (ED), is growing.
  • Fraudulent participants pose a significant threat to research validity.
  • Existing fraud prevention strategies were insufficient in a recent Delphi study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the risks associated with fraudulent participants in online ED research.
  • To provide practical recommendations for preventing, detecting, and managing such participants.
  • To enhance the integrity of online research data.

Main Methods:

  • A three-round Delphi consensus study involving 138 participants was conducted.
  • Initial fraud prevention strategies were augmented with additional mitigation measures.
  • A three-step procedure for identifying and managing fraudulent participants was established.

Main Results:

  • Enhanced measures like dual reCAPTCHA and modified attention checks potentially reduced fraudulent sign-ups.
  • Manual review of survey data and a fraudulent participant profile aided in identifying and withdrawing fraudulent entries.
  • The implemented procedure successfully identified and managed suspected fraudulent participants.

Conclusions:

  • Increasing fraud rates and AI advancements necessitate proactive antifraud practices in all online studies.
  • Researchers must adopt robust strategies to safeguard the validity of online research.
  • The study offers practical recommendations for managing fraudulent participants in future research.
