Careless and insufficient effort responding (C/IER) on self-report measures results in responses that do not accurately reflect the constructs being measured, posing a major threat to the quality of survey data. Confirmatory mixture models, which translate theoretical considerations on respondent behavior into constrained component models, offer sophisticated tools for studying the occurrence of C/
