Yu，Tian，and Tang（2008）提出了两种在人口调查中针对敏感话题提问的新技术：三角模型（TM）和三角模型（CM）。这两种模型可用作众所周知的随机应答技术（RRT）的替代方案，旨在克服RRT的一些缺点。虽然Yu，Tian和Tang对提出的模型提供了有希望的理论分析，但他们没有测试它们。因此，我们提供了一个实验性的调查结果，在该调查中，实施了直接提问的模型和比较。据我们所知，这是第一个实证评估的ESTA模型。我们重点关注了RRT模型，因为它似乎比三角模型更适合克服RRT中观察到的自我保护性“否”偏倚。这项关于剽窃的纸笔调查是在瑞士和德国的大学课堂上进行的。结果表明，CM是一个很有前途的数据收集工具，引出更多的社会不良的答案比直接提问。
Yu, Tian, and Tang (2008) proposed two new techniques for asking questions on sensitive topics in population surveys: the triangular model (TM) and the crosswise model (CM). The two models can be used as alternatives to the well-known randomized response technique (RRT) and are meant to overcome some of the drawbacks of the RRT. Although Yu, Tian, and Tang provide a promising theoretical analysis of the proposed models, they did not test them. We therefore provide results from an experimental survey in which the crosswise model was implemented and compared to direct questioning. To our knowledge, this is the first empirical evaluation of the crosswise model. We focused on the crosswise model because it seems better suited than the triangular model to overcome the self-protective "no" bias observed for the RRT. This paper-and-pencil survey on plagiarism was administered to Swiss and German students in university classrooms. Results suggest that the CM is a promising data-collection instrument eliciting more socially undesirable answers than direct questioning.
