TY - JOUR AU - Saad, Dominika PY - 2021/06/14 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Increasing Validity of Online Research by Implementing New Tools and Techniques JF - Com.press JA - compress VL - 4 IS - 1 SE - DO - 10.51480/compress.2021.4-1.248 UR - https://journals.ptks.pl/compress/article/view/248 SP - 106-121 AB - <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The aim of this paper is to present new techniques that increase the quality of data obtained through online research, basing on the example of Amazon MTurk. Using a critical analysis of the literature, preceded by a query, we identified the main sources of low-quality data such as careless responses, form-fill bots activity, and fraudulent behavior of manipulating IP addresses. The techniques implemented in the study offer several practical implications in terms of validity improvement. The results proved that 60% of observations were recognized as poor quality data. This confirms the applied control techniques to be useful and the proposed theoretical model of time operationalization to be an important indicator of careless responses.</span></p> ER -
