초록

온라인 설문은 기존의 지필형 설문에 비해 실시의 편의성과 비용적인 측면에서 이점이 있기 때문에 일반적인 연구 장면뿐만 아니라, 고객 및 종업원 인식조사 등 실무 장면에서도 광범위하게 사용된다. 온라인 설문에서, 낮은 비율의 불성실 응답으로도 데이터의 질과 분석 결과에 미치는 부정적인 영향 및 불성실 응답의 탐지 방법에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지는 것에 비해, 불성실 응답을 사전에 방지하기 위한 방법에 대한 실증적인 연구는 매우 부족한 편이다. 본 연구에서는 응답자들의 불성실 응답을 방지하기 위해 사회심리학의 객관적 자기 인식이론(objective self-awareness)을 적용하여 거울이미지를 배경으로 삽입하는 온라인 설문 화면 구성하였으며, 이는 매우 간단하지만 지금까지 시도되지 않았던 방법이다. 거울이미지의 불성실 응답 방지효과를 파악하기 위해 경고지시문을 활용한 조건 및 일반적인 조사 지시문을 활용한 통제 조건과 비교하였다. 비교를 위해서 기존 불성실 응답 연구들에서 도출된 지표를 활용하였으며, 연구 결과, 경고 지시문 활용이나 일반적인 지시문을 활용한 통제조건에 비해 거울이미지를 삽입한 조건에서 불성실 응답이 감소되는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 본 연구의 의의, 제한점 및 추후 연구방향에 관하여 논의하였다.

Abstract

Online surveys are widely used not only in general survey research but also in organizational research, such as customer and employee surveys, due to the ease of implementation and the considerations of cost-effectiveness compared to conventional paper-pencil surveys. There has been much research devoted to showing the negative impact of careless responding on subsequent data analysis and to evaluating statistical methods for detecting the careless respondents embedded in the data collected via online surveys. However, it would be fair to say that there has been a paucity of empirical research evaluating the effectiveness of a preventive measure against careless responding that would operate during the data collection phase of online survey. In this study, inspired by the objective self-awareness theory in social psychology, we proposed a simple but novel method of inserting a mirror-image in the background of each online survey page as a preventive measure of careless responding to the survey items. We collected data under three different conditions of control(standard instructions only), warning(standard instructions plus warnings against careless responding), and the mirror-image condition. Statistical properties of several existing indicators developed for detecting various types of careless respondents were compared among the three conditions. Our results suggested that the simple mirror-image method tended to reduce the careless responding more effectively than the warning and control condition. We concluded by discussing implications and limitations of our study.
