Studies of transparency in forced-choice scales: I. Evidence of transparency

Abstract

A forced-choice study activity questionnaire (SAQ) by Schutter and Maher (see 31 : 6682) was tested for transparency. 106 college students were used as Ss. The scores from an "honest" administration were compared with "beat" administrations, 1 involving instruction and 1 not. Transparency was found; however, it was not furthered by a "how to study" lecture. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
