@article { , title = {The Impact of repeated lying on survey results}, abstract = {We study the effects on results of participants completing a survey more than once, a phenomenon known as farming. Using data from a real social science study as a baseline, three strategies that participants might use to farm are studied by Monte Carlo simulation. Findings show that farming influences survey results and can cause both statistical hypotheses testing Type I (false positive) and Type II (false negative) errors in unpredictable ways.}, doi = {10.1177/2158244012472345}, eissn = {2158-2440}, issn = {2158-2440}, issue = {1}, note = {School: sch\_man}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {SAGE Publications}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7884}, volume = {3}, keyword = {378 Higher education, HA Statistics, L1 Education (General), Survey results, farming, Monte Carlo simulation, statistical hypotheses testing Type I (false positive), Type II (false negative), lying;}, year = {2013}, author = {Chesney, Thomas and Penny, Kay I} }
