We deemed hastily completed or incomplete questionnaires as low-quality or invalid responses. Quality validation was based on answers, duration, and completion of questionnaires.Â
38.9% of the invalid responses were identified via the selection of irrelevant choices in topic questions, indicating hasty completion. We adopted a quality control method [1] by including an apparent irrelevant choice for each multi-choice topic question, treating any selection of this choice as invalid.
Responses completed within two minutes (27.8%) or unfinished (33.3%) were also considered invalid.
