Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying response bias are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods receive data associated with a user's input device in the course of a survey and calculate one or more metrics from the data. Metrics are a measure of the movements of the input device. The systems and methods then calculate the user's response bias from the metrics and output results of the survey. In that output, the results are adjusted for the user's response bias.
Claims20
A method for predicting response bias comprising:
- receiving data associated with a user's input device in the course of a survey;
- calculating one or more metrics from the data, wherein the metrics are a measure of the movements or usage events associated with the input device;
- calculating the user's response bias from the one or more metrics;
- and
- outputting results of the survey, wherein the results are adjusted for the user's response bias.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed, causes a computer to:
- receive data associated with a user's input device in the course of a survey;
- calculate one or more metrics from the data, wherein the metrics are a measure of the movements or usage events associated with the input device;
- calculate the user's response bias from the metrics;
- and
- output results of the survey, wherein the results are adjusted for the user's response bias.
