The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Understanding Student Self-Reports of Academic Performance and Course-Taking Behavior (2017, background): “Robinson-Cimpian (2014) defines the mischievous respondent as one who enters responses that she or he thinks are funny (i.e., reporting they are adopted when they are not) or implausibly extreme on items related to, for example, alcohol consumption.”
Mental health of sexual minorities. A systematic review (2015, background): “However, as demonstrated in a study on adolescents SO disparities remained significant after controlling for biases (Robinson-Cimpian, 2014) and it seems unlikely that such biases are influential in the studies on adults or when using clinical interviews.”
Evaluating inclusive gender identity measures for use in quantitative psychological research (2018, background): “Researchers may view potential mischievous responses as a reason to refrain from collecting open-ended gender data; however, recent research from Robinson-Cimpian (2014) shows that mischievous responders often provide untruthful responses to multiple survey questions.”
A Large-Scale Test of the Goldilocks Hypothesis (2017, background): “This approach would minimize the negative influence of extreme “mischievous responding” (Robinson-Cimpian, 2014), which might have exaggerated the links we observed between screen time and well-being, particularly among our respondents who reported unrealistically high levels of technology use.”
