  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING AND ANALYZING RESPONSE BIAS
    Publication number: 20220020040
    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.
