- PLease do not answer if you are reading this: respondent attention in online panels (2018, background): “Speeding and straight-lining are known indicators for respondent inattention (Oppenheimer et al. 2009; Zhang and Conrad 2013).”
- The mediating role of place attachment between nature connectedness and human well-being: perspectives from Japan (2019, background): “However, studies also agreed that a fast completion time does not always mean lower attention to the questionnaire (Malhotra 2008; Zhang and Conrad 2014), but may be due to the knowledgeable and strong attitude of the respondent.”
- Response Speed and Response Consistency as Mutually Validating Indicators of Data Quality in Online Samples (2017, background): “This is because there are effective limits in how quickly participants can respond meaningfully to survey items (Huang, Curran, Keeney, Poposki, & DeShon, 2012; Zhang & Conrad, 2014).”
- Straightlining in Web survey panels over time (2015, methodology): “Matrix or grid questions are a type of survey question in which multiple items with the same response scales are displayed in a table-like format in which the items – usually statements – are the rows and the response categories the columns (see, for example Zhang & Conrad, 2014).”
- Understanding the intention to buy secondhand clothing on sharing economy platforms: The influence of sustainability, distance from the consumption system, and economic motivations (2020, unknown): “However, six respondents were removed due to speeding (i.e., very short response times), as the quality of these answers can be questioned (Zhang & Conrad, 2014).”
