Beyond the overt response: Reaction time modeling in self-report surveys across administration modes and item formats.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Reaction times (RTs) offer valuable insights into both latent traits and underlying cognitive processes. Yet, they remain underutilized in social psychological measurement due to their statistical distributions and sensitivity to varied survey contexts. In a preregistered 2 × 2 experiment (N = 268 Czech students), we examined the robustness of reaction time modeling (RTM), combining a shifted-lognormal RT component with a graded response model for Likert data, across two common methodological variations: administration mode (online vs. laboratory) and item visualization (single- vs. multiple-item format). Equivalence testing showed that latent trait estimates (θₚ) were practically invariant across all conditions, indicating that RTM is resilient to survey design and platform differences. Complementary eye-tracking and heart rate data revealed that multiple-item formats reduced perceptual and physiological demands, while single-item presentations elicited more intensive visual and pre-decisional processing. These findings demonstrate that RTM provides robust, psychologically meaningful estimates of both latent traits and underlying cognitive processes, supporting flexible survey implementation across contexts. The study also introduces open-source software and modeling tools, lowering barriers for researchers to incorporate reaction time modeling in both laboratory and online environments.
