The relationship between nonsystematic delay discounting and low-quality survey responses in a sample of smokers: ROC curve analysis.

ABSTRACT: Delay discounting (DD), the decrease of the subjective value of a reward as the delay to its receipt increases, is a crucial aspect of decision-making processes. As evidence continues to mount, additional attention needs to be given to nonsystematic DD, a response pattern that has been reported in the literature but rarely investigated. We noticed in our recent online research an increase in the proportion of nonsystematic DD responses across samples, consistent with the so-called Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) data quality crisis. The significant proportion of nonsystematic responses created an opportunity to investigate its association with data quality in the present study. In a sample of smokers recruited from MTurk (n = 210), three independent quality check indexes evaluated pa
