PLease do not answer if you are reading this: respondent attention in online panels (2018, background): “The use of balanced scales that consist of reversed and positively formulated questions is the gold standard in distinguishing between acquiescence response bias and an actual positive attitude (Billiet and McClendon 2000).”
The proximity effect: The role of inter-item distance on reverse-item bias (2009, methodology): “…of the proximity effect for nonreversed and reversed item pairs posits a content-driven response process, directional response bias (due to individuals' response styles) has been shown to bias correlations (Paulhus, 1991; Fischer, 2004; Greenleaf, 1992; Billiet & McClendon, 2000 ).”
Assessing response styles across modes of data collection (2008, methodology): “Whereas previous research has used multiple indicators for response styles (Baumgartner and Steenkamp 2001) and has modeled one specific response style, ARS, as a latent variable (Billiet and McClendon 2000), we propose and apply the use of multiple specifically designed indicators for the simultane”
Adjustment for Acquiescence in the Assessment of the Construct Equivalence of Likert-Type Score Items (2003, methodology): “Acquiescence is commonly defined as the tendency of some respondents to agree with an item irrespective of the content of that item (Billiet & McClendon, 2000; Watson, 1992).”
Acquiescence in personality questionnaires: Relevance, domain specificity, and stability☆ (2015, background): “Several studies investigated how acquiescence can be measured (e.g., Billiet & McClendon, 2000; Paulhus, 1991; Winkler, Kanouse, & Ware, 1982), which situational or item characteristics affect acquiescence (e.g., Elliott, 1961; Krosnick & Presser, 2010; McBride & Moran, 1967; Trott & Jackson,…”
Longitudinal Invariance of Self-Esteem and Method Effects Associated With Negatively Worded Items (2002, methodology): “This study indicated that the method effects associated with negatively worded items demonstrated longitudinal invariance and therefore represent a behavioral consistency operating across time (Billiet & McClendon, 2000).”
Reducing Uniform Response Bias With Ipsative Measurement in Multiple-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (2002, methodology): “However, there are still no well-established statistical methods for controlling the bias in the field of CFA or SEM (but see Billiet & McClendon, 2000; Bramble & Wiley, 1974; Cheung & Rensvold, 1999; Jo, 2000; Watson, 1992, for some suggestions).”
Refining the theory of basic individual values. (2012, methodology): “To control such bias, we included a common factor on which we fixed the loadings of all items to 1 (cf. Billiet & McClendon, 2000).”
Measurement Equivalence of Ordinal Items: A Comparison of Factor Analytic, Item Response Theory, and Latent Class Approaches (2011, background): “To the extent that agreement tendency is associated with cultural background it is prone to be one of the factors that can cause measurement inequivalence in the cross-cultural comparisons (Moors, 2003; Billiet and McClendon, 2000).”
Working Memory: Theories, Models, and Controversies (2015, neutral): “A number of authors (Baumgartner & Steenkamp 2001, Billiet & McClendon 2000, Mirowsky & that scale formats that ask respondents how strongly they agree or disagree with statements may be susceptible to acquiescence or disac-quiescence response style biases.”
Capturing autonomy, competence, and relatedness at work: Construction and initial validation of the Work‐related Basic Need Satisfaction scale (2010, background): “…positive (i.e., need satisfaction) and negative (i.e., need frustration) items were included for the above-mentioned theoretical reasons as well as to avoid that an acquiescence bias (i.e., the tendency to agree with all items; Billiet & McClendon, 2000) would contaminate participants’ answers.”
Response Styles in Survey Research: A Literature Review of Antecedents, Consequences, and Remedies (2013, methodology): “The balanced-scale method (Billiet & McClendon, 2000) accounts only for ARS, while the most recently developed LCFA approach (Kieruj & Moors, 2010, 2012) allows for detection and control of ARS and ERS.”
The Next Big Five Inventory (BFI-2): Developing and Assessing a Hierarchical Model With 15 Facets to Enhance Bandwidth, Fidelity, and Predictive Power (2017, background): “…and the acquiescence factor was not allowed to correlate with the domain factor; these constraints ensured that the acquiescence factor would represent individual differences in response style that were distinct from meaningful personality content (cf. Billiet & McClendon, 2000; John et al., 2008).”
