Recent Advances in Measurement Methods for Detecting Careless Responding in the Past 5 Years

Abstract

The issue of careless response (CR), also known as insufficient effort response, poses a threat to the quality of survey data. Meade and Craig (2012) developed a framework for detecting CR, which has since become a significant influence in social science. Currently, forced-choice questions are being used in a new format, and quantitative research methods such as ecological momentary assessment are gaining popularity. However, there has not yet been a scholarly synthesis or summary of the literature on this topic. Therefore, we analyze the most impactful literatures to determine which authors and countries are driving the development of new detection of CR in this study. These findings will provide a comprehensive overview of the advancements, trends, and gaps in the field of CR detection.
