Ascertaining the validity of individual protocols from Web-based personality inventories
Ascertaining the validity of individual protocols from Web-based personality inventories (DOI: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrp.2004.09.009) was written by John A. Johnson in 2004. It was published in the Journal of Research in Personality (vol. 39).
Author compares internet-based personality measures to conventional paper administrations.
Compared to paper surveying, web surveying features greater risk of:
- linguistic difficulties
- inattentive or rushed response (due to perceived lack of accountability); common forms include...
- random response
- use of scales in wrong direction
- skipping
- repeat participation
The second can be addressed by removal from the data set. Potential tools to identify the inattentive or rushed responses are:
- establish a maximum miss rate
- establish a minimum length for string data
- establish a maximum number of straight-lined responses
