研究中将EPQ和NEO-FFI中的一半题目进行语义反转(肯定陈述的改为否定陈述,否定陈述的改为肯定陈述),而另一半的题目陈述方向不变,形成的量表用于初测。重测时则把初测问卷中的题目全部进行语义反转。测试后得到363名大学生的正反EPQ和412名大学生的正反NEO-FFI数据。对比发现两套量表在使用正向题时信度略高,而使用反向陈述题目时效度略好; 验证性因素分析发现正反向题能测量同一特质。正向题可能更易受反应偏差影响。

In personality measurement, some examinees show the tendency of simply agreeing with the scale items regardless of the item content. This tendency is called acquiescence by Cronbach (1946, 1950), and yea-or nay-saying by Couch and Keniston (1960). To diminish this kind of response bias, negatively worded items are adopted.
