Stereotype Threat and Survey Response Bias
… threat. Differences in reporting style (i.e., bias) between the two groups on self-reported measures of race-related attitudes were examined. It was hypothesized that the group exposed to stereotype threat would endorse lower racism and lower stereotypicality (i.e., stereotypic "White" …

Socially desirable responding on the Machiavellianism scale: Response bias or construct?
… IV has been criticized for social desirability response bias, or the tendency to present oneself in an overly favorable light. Socially desirable responding, as measured by the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding, however, was postulated to reflect a facet of the Machiavellianism …

Comparability of SIRS and SIRS-2 Classifications with External Response Bias Criteria
<p>The current study compared the classification groups between the SIRS and SIRS-2 using samples of disability claimants and criminal defendants. Results suggest that the newly revised SIRS-2 may have less clinical utility than the original SIRS. Implications of these results for both clinical and …

Recognition memory and response bias in elderly demented, depressed, and demented/depressed patients
… items during recognition memory testing) and response bias (i.e., the probability of saying "yes" to an item when uncertain if it is a target or a distractor) have been suggested as useful aids when making such a differential diagnosis. Prior research indicated that discrimination abilities …

Alternative Explanations: Examining Exposure Recall, Selective Perception, And Response Bias In The Evaluation Of A Domestic Violence Prevention Radio Campaign
… explanations are explored: selectivity and response bias. Through two paired analyses I approach the data set in two different ways. In the first pair I seek evidence of variables that explain two exposure measures - program recall and false exposure claims. The first analysis corroborates …

A comparison of forensic populations using the validity scales on the MMPI-3
… These factors are often referred to as response biases. There are multiple types of response bias that can negatively influence the validity of self-reports in clinical assessment contexts. Specifically, individuals undergoing an assessment can be impacted by non-contentbased response …

The influence of individualist and collectivist attributes on responses to Likert-type scales
… collectivism and individualism and various response sets that have been reported relating to the way in which individuals respond to Likert-type scales. Using structural equation modelling, the Collectivism-Individualism Model of Response Bias was developed. This model suggests two types of …

Are four heads better than one? Comparing groups and individuals on behavioral rating accuracy
… investigated. Lastly the relationship between response bias and prior evaluative judgment was explored. The results revealed a group memory superiority but also demonstrated that groups adopt a too-liberal decision criterion when rating the occurrence of effective behaviors. In addition, in the …

Mechanics of Stimulus & Response Generalization in Signal Detection & Psychophysics: Adaptation of Static Theory to Dynamic Performance.
… ability to discriminate among stimuli and their biases towards reporting one stimulus more frequently than others. Choice theories assume that these performance measures are determined by generalization of reinforcement along both stimulus and response dimensions. Historically the majority of …

What you see and what you are told: feedback does not diminish Action-Specific Perception
… of task relevant stimuli. Critics argue that a response bias occurs, not a difference in perception. Feedback has empirical support for affecting response biases and distinguishing between response biases and perceptual biases. Feedback was given during an action-specific perception paradigm to …

APUF Faults: Testing, Diagnosing, and Salvaging
… quantitatively how these faults affect the APUF response bias and uniqueness. We propose simple and efficient testing methodologies for faults in the APUF production line. The number of APUFs with positive responses (called the response bias) is used for the detection of the mask-phase fault, …

Improving applicability of the non-monotone unified estimate for missing data
… a loss of statistical power and can cause non-response bias. Inverse probability weighting is one method used to avoid non-response bias. However, when some individuals have partially observed data inverse probability weighting has only a limited ability to use this data. The unified approach …

The scene superiority effect: object recognition in the context of natural scenes
… been challenged as the result of post-perceptual response bias rather than the perceptual processes of object recognition itself. The current study takes advantage of a paradigm from linguistic processing known as the Word Superiority Effect. Humans can better discriminate letters (e.g., D vs. K) …

Police Use of Force Databases: Sources of Bias in Lethal Force Data Collection
… requires the collection of reliable data. Due to bias present in police-use-of-lethal-force databases, researchers typically triangulate using multiple data sources to compensate for this bias; however, triangulation is restricted when the bias present in each database is unknown. This study …

Haven’t I seen you before? Prior familiarity can impair or enhance face recognition memory
… potential confounding effects of familiarity on response bias. To draw conclusions about the effects of prior familiarity for important scenarios, like eyewitness identification, a clearer understanding of these effects is needed. This dissertation examines the effects of varying levels of prior …

The effects of experimentally-induced anxiety on the report of pain: a signal detection analysis
… cognitive and attitudinal factors which affect response bias. The present study attempted to investigate the effects of experimentally-induced anxiety on the report of pain, taking these problems into account. Thirty-six female undergraduates were assigned to one of three experimental …

The role of Attentional Binding in Hallucination Proneness

Assessment Of Memory Function And Effort Using The Wechsler Memory Scale - 4th Edition

The aim of the present study was to develop methods for detecting these behaviors for the current edition of the Wechsler Memory Scale, 4th Edition (WMS-IV) using a community sample of healthy adults coached to …

Crisp and Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory and Pilot Weather Judgment: Implications for VFR Flights Into IMC
… seen out-the-window caused a liberal shift in response bias, and conditions that were better than those out-the-window had a corresponding conservative shift in response bias. Overall the experiment found evidence to suggest both situation assessment and motivation could contribute to a …

Debiasing reasoning : a signal detection analysis
