'''Identifying Careless Responses in Survey Data''' (DOI: [[https://doi.org/10.1037/a0028085]]) was written by Andrew Meade and S. Bartholomew Craig in 2012. It was published in ''Psychological Methods'' (vol. 17, no. 3).

Authors discuss extent and possible solutions to non-responsivity ("responding without regard to item content").
 * Bigger problem for web surveys due to lack of control over environment.
 * Bogus responses can identify non-responsive individuals. Must be designed with attention to straight-liners; should not be possible to straight-line and pass the test.
 * Consistency indices work, but carry assumptions about what non-responsive data looks like.
