When respondents use different ways to answer rating scale items, they employ so-called response styles that can bias inferences drawn from measurement. To describe the influence of such response styles on the response process, we investigated relations between extreme, acquiescent, and mid response style and response times in three studies using m...

Item response theory was used to examine the amount of information each item provided across the latent variable scale and test whether items functioned differently across women and men. In a sample of 857 community adults, ...

Socially desirable responding may affect the factor structure of personality questionnaires and may be one of the reasons for the common variance among personality traits. In this study, we test this hypothesis by investigating the influence of the motivational test-taking context (development vs. selection) and the opportunity to distort responses...
