Description: When taking online surveys, participants sometimes respond
        to items without regard to their content. These types of
        responses, referred to as careless or insufficient effort
        responding, constitute significant problems for data quality,
        leading to distortions in data analysis and hypothesis testing,
        such as spurious correlations. The 'R' package 'careless'
        provides solutions designed to detect such careless /
        insufficient effort responses by allowing easy calculation of
        indices proposed in the literature. It currently supports the
        calculation of longstring, even-odd consistency, psychometric
        synonyms/antonyms, Mahalanobis distance, and intra-individual
        response variability (also termed inter-item standard
        deviation). For a review of these methods, see Curran (2016)
        <doi:10.1016/j.jesp.2015.07.006>.
