Project description
In marketing attitudes are often measured by means of self-reports on multi-item scales. Responsestyles, defined as the inclination to respond in a similar way, regardless of the content of the question, often bias the responses on such measures. The objective is to investigate in which situations and for what type of respondents the bias of response styles is most problematic.
