How do people answer survey questions about sensitive or embarrassing topics (e.g., their sexual behaviors) or questions for which their answers might be embarrassing (e.g., about their illegal drug use, or admitting that they never exercise)? The current study tests three hypotheses about how response latencies in a mobile telephone survey interview might reliably reflect the sensitivity of the questions and responses, and, by implication, socially desirable responding---responding in ways that put the respondent in a more favorable light than is accurate. Previous evidence and theorizing has been mixed, with evidence that response latency is likely to be greater when there is more pressure to give a socially desirable response (Holtgraves, 2004), but an alternative proposal that people who feel they are being asked an intrusive question are likely to give a quick socially desirable response as an automatic defense (Schaeffer, 2000). The study compared response latencies of answers to sensitive and non-sensitive questions in a corpus of 319 audiorecorded mobile telephone interviews from Schober et al. (2015), in which participants had answered 32 questions (some sensitive and some not) on their iPhones. Half the respondents (160) had been interviewed by professional interviewers and the other half (159) by an automated spoken dialog interviewing system (speech-IVR). The main comparisons were (a) comparisons of response latencies between respondents who produced more vs. less socially desirable answers to sensitive questions (with response sensitivity rated by a new sample of 100 raters in an online panel); (b) comparison of response latencies by the same respondents to sensitive and non-sensitive questions (as classified by the same online panel); and (c) within-question comparisons of response latencies when sensitive questions had been asked by an automated system or human interviewer. Findings demonstrated that (overall, as well as for some particular survey questions) respondents answered sensitive questions more quickly than non-sensitive questions, but they took reliably longer to provide less socially desirable (vs. socially desirable) answers to the sensitive questions. The pattern was the same whether the questions had been asked by an automated system or human interviewer, suggesting that the human interviewer's potential to disapprove (relative to a machine's) may not be the primary cause for these dynamics of socially desirable responding. The pattern of findings demonstrates that question sensitivity is not an all-or-none construct; not only could sensitive questions have non-sensitive answers, but questions judged as non-sensitive could have answers judged as embarrassing. More broadly, the findings demonstrate that speech "paradata"---in this case, response latency---is significantly associated with sensitivity of both questions and answers in mobile surveys.
