I read an article [*] today which suggested asking participants for biographical information before starting the survey. Also, it was suggested to ask about the seriousness of the participant. For example:
How serious are you about participating in this survey? ( ) earnest desire to make a contribution to science ( ) somewhere inbetween ( ) looking for something to pass the time Reips claimed that these kinds of questions help draw participants into the experiment and reduce the attrition rate.
