The Scientific Status of Projective Techniques (2000, background): “The extent to which such item ambiguity is a source of valid trait variance (Meehl, 1945) as opposed to measurement error (Jackson, 1971), however, remains a point of contention.”
A perspective on scale development in entrepreneurship research (2012, methodology): “With the inclusion of a social desirability scale the Differential Reliability Index can be calculated in order to maximize the content saturation of the item in relation to its saturation with a desirability scale (jackson, 1971).”
A Meta-Analytic Investigation of the Susceptibility of Integrity Tests to Faking and Coaching (2000, background): “It has been argued that subtle items are more difficult to fake than more obvious (i.e., transparent) items (Jackson, 1971).”
Item response theory and clinical measurement. (2009, background): “This highly nuanced, or unnecessarily complex ( Jackson 1971), way to measure clinical constructs makes it virtually impossible to interpret MMPI scores (from the clinical scales) from the perspective of classic measurement theory (Campbell 1920, Michell 1990).”
Refining Lodahl and Kejner’s Job Involvement Scale with a Convergent Evidence Approach: Applying Multiple Methods to Multiple Samples (2001, background): “…psychologist building the test has sufficient insight into the dynamics of verbal behavior and its relation to the inner core of personality that he is able to predict before hand what certain sorts of people will say about themselves when asked certain sorts of questions” (Meehl, 2000, p. 368).”
Misunderstanding Standardized Language in Research Interviews (2004, unknown): “Fowler & Mangione, 1990), personality testing (e.g. Butcher, 1972; Meehl, 1947), personnel selection (e.”
A Structural Examination of the Predictors of Sexual Coercion Against Children in Adolescent Sexual Offenders (2007, methodology): “Following the perspective first described by Cronbach and Meehl (1955) and later developed by Jackson (1970, 1971) and Tellegen and Waller (in press), the logic of the test-creation process followed the decision that the interplay of theoretical assumption and empirical corroboration or…”
The Role of Structural Equation Modeling in Scale Development (2003, methodology): “Jackson (1970, 1971) proposed a sequential approach to scale development, and similar approaches have been advocated by others (Comrey, 1988; DeVellis, 1991; Fava, Velicer, & Rossi, 1995).”
