The study found that chatbot-assisted surveys modestly improve data quality, with most users finding the chatbots helpful and widely using them.
Methods: Randomized participants into chatbot-supported and unassisted survey conditions; assessed chatbot use, user satisfaction, and data quality via validated and deliberately confusing challenge items.
Key Findings: Effects of chatbot assistance on data quality, user satisfaction, and usage patterns in online questionnaires.

Mobile-based responses via platforms like Pollfish are comparable in quality to computer-based ones from MTurk and Prolific, though attentiveness varies significantly across platforms and is influenced by factors like incentives, distractions, and system 1 thinking.
Methods: Conducted two studies distributing the same survey across MTurk, Prolific, Pollfish, and Qualtrics panels to compare data quality and analyze attentiveness scores.
Key Findings: Attentiveness, device usage (mobile vs. computer), and factors influencing data quality such as incentives, respondent activity, distractions, and survey familiarity.
