Abstract

Abstract: Web surveys offer new research possibilities, but they also have specific problems. One of them is a higher risk of careless, inattentive, or otherwise invalid responses. Using paradata, which are data collected apart from reactionary data, is one of the potential tools that can help to screen for problematic responses in web-based surveys. One of the most promising forms of paradata is the movement, or trajectory, of the cursor in making a response. This study constructed indicators of such data presented correlations between them and provided an interpretation and validation of these components by correlating them with previously known indices of careless responding. Finally, it tested cursor movement indices during different motivational states induced by experimental instructions. Cursor movement indices proved to be moderately related to classical careless responding indices but some of them (horizontal distance traveled as well speed and acceleration on vertical dimension) were as responsive to manipulation conditions as classical indices. The potential role of cursor movement indices in survey practice and future studies in this area are discussed.

摘要:网络调查为研究提供了新的可能性，但也存在着特定的问题。其中之一是粗心、不专心或其他无效反应的风险更高。使用参考数据，即收集到的数据，是一种潜在的工具，可以帮助筛选网络调查中有问题的回答。para - ata最有希望的形式之一是光标在做出响应时的运动或轨迹。本研究构建了这些数据的指标，呈现了它们之间的相关性，并通过将它们与先前已知的粗心响应指数相关联，提供了对这些成分的解释和验证。最后，在实验指令诱导的不同动机状态下测试光标运动指标。光标移动指标被证明与经典的粗心反应指标有适度的关系，但其中一些指标(水平移动距离以及垂直方向的速度和加速度)对操作条件的响应与经典指标一样。最后讨论了光标移动指标在调查实践中的潜在作用和未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
