Therefore, to further ensure data validity, we applied a data cleaning procedure to help identify and remove participants who provided impossible or highly implausible responses to specific survey questions, consistent with the methods employed in a number of published AMT studies by various investigators (Coppock, Reference Coppock2019; Hauser and Schwarz, Reference Hauser and Schwarz2016; Nguyen et al., Reference Nguyen2020; Peer et al., Reference Peer, Vosgerau and Acquisti2014).
