A lightweight computational method for monitoring lexical response convergence in LLM-based synthetic populations

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> LLM-based synthetic populations are increasingly used to simulate open-ended survey, interview, user-research, and group-style responses. These workflows can support early exploratory research, but they also create a methodological risk: agents configured as different participants may nevertheless converge towards similar wording, examples, or answer templates.
