Have you ever wondered whether all participants in your research study were providing actual proper responses to your carefully designed questionnaire or ability test? Well, what if I tell you that, indeed, people do not always behave as expected!

At this seminar, Associate Professor Esther Ulitzsch (CEMO and CREATE) will present work on how features of the experience sampling study design relate to careless and insufficient effort responding.
