Abstract:	Surveys are an important tool to measure opinions and behaviour in the society. For surveys to measure opinions and behaviour correctly, we have to rely on the cooperation of respondents, that is, survey participation and report of correct values. However, we know that some respondents do not cooperate as wishful. In this dissertation, I investigate whether we can use the time that respondents require to return a survey to predict which respondents cooperate more than others.
