Instructional Manipulation Checks: Detecting Satisficing to Increase Statistical PowerDaniel M. Oppenheimeraffiliation not provided to SSRN Tom MeyvisNew York University (NYU) - Department of Marketing Nicolas DavidenkoStanford University 2009 Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Vol. 45, pp. 867-872, 2009 Abstract: Participants are not always as diligent in reading and following instructions as experimenters would like them to be. When participants fail to follow instructions, this increases noise and decreases the validity of their data. This paper presents and validates a new tool for detecting participants who are not following instructions – the Instructional manipulation check (IMC). We demonstrate how the inclusion of an IMC can increase statistical power and reliability of a dataset.
