• The Application of Factorial Surveys in General Population Samples: The Effects of Respondent Age and Education on Response Times and Response Consistency (2011, background): “Response times and response consistency – both known indicators for response problems – are analyzed (see for response times: Bassili and Scott 1996; Malhotra 2008; for response consistency: Finucane, Slovic and Schmidt 2005; Swait and Adamowicz 2001).”

• Speeding in Web Surveys: The tendency to answer very fast and its association with straightlining (2014, methodology): “Malhotra (2008) found that speeding was associated with primacy e ff ects, especially among low-education respondents.”
