Faking biodata tests: Are option-keyed instruments more resistant?
研究比较了选项键控和项目键控两种计分方式在传记数据测试中对社会期望性反应偏差的抵抗力，发现选项键控得分不易受社会期望和特定职位知识影响，而项目键控得分则易被夸大。
Response biases in biodata scores derived with option-keying and item-keying procedures were investigated.Results indicated that (a) when subjects simulated responding as job applicants they distorted their responses in a socially desirable direction; (b) itemkeyed scores were susceptible to inflation due to socially desirable responding and specific job-title knowledge, but option-keyed scores were not; and (c) response biases were not reflected in response latencies.A supplementary analysis indicated that the two keying procedures may capture different aspects of criterion variance.Implications for reconciling conflicting reports about the susceptibility of biodata scores to response biases are discussed.Issues related to reliability and validity of the two keying procedures, and the generalizability of the results to personality tests, are also discussed.
