For your survey, I was wondering what happens if someone answered it but they lied or were trolling, do you still collect and use the information they submitted? I ask because as I was doing the survey I started having an intrusive thought about whether I should lie or not. By the way I think it's cool the survey thing.
I've been reviewing all the answers, and none seems to be trolling. Everyone seems genuine, well so far anyways with 105 responses. But if there were stupid answers, I wouldn't collect it. As far for the lie, I can't really confirm but the questions are structured in a way that it's based your own experience or beliefs. Kinda why I take a lot of responses for it to mean something atleast. The previous person already explained it, the real results though come from certain questions you wouldn't expect :)
I'm not hikyooeon but: Deception is definitely a problem in human research, especially in self-reports or interviews and other similar settings (one reason being social desirability). There are usually strategies designed to minimize this, such as test questions or bogus items, but of course, this cannot be completely prevented. Researchers also often use multiple methods to collect data or statistical methods to estimate the deception rate and “correct” the data accordingly, but of course the risk still remains.
