Insufficient effort responding: examining an insidious confound in survey data.
Insufficient effort responding (IER; Huang, Curran, Keeney, Poposki, & DeShon, 2012) to surveys has largely been assumed to be a source of random measurement error that attenuates associations between substantive measures. The current article, however, illustrates how and when the presence of IER can produce a systematic bias that inflates observed correlations between substantive measures. Not...

Whereas previous studies have focused on IER as a methodological n...
متن کاملInsufficient Effort Survey Responding: An Under- Appreciated Problem in Work and Organisational Health Psychology Research
Insufficient effort responding (IER) is problematic in that it can add a systematic source of variance for variables with average responses that depart from the scale midpoints. We present a rationale for why IER is of particular importance to Work and Organisational Health Psychology (WOHP) researchers. We also demonstrate its biasing effects using several variables of interest to WOHP researc...

The relation among children's evening activities, behavioral characteristics, and activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis was assessed in normally developing children ages 7 to 10 years.
