'''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
