slanting/tilting of responses Explanation: Perhaps this might work? Compare with examples below: "But such a demonstration leaves open the question of how much faking or slanting of responses actually occurs in standard testing." https://books.google.com/books?id=ZigGiTQXF0IC&pg=PA216&lpg=... https://www.google.com/#q="slanting of responses" "Social pressure from others in the group induces individuals to slant their responses or to silently acquiesce to what they believe will be acceptable to the group" https://books.google.com/books?id=DEeCeCz7KtAC&pg=PA134&lpg=... "Finally, CM advocates argue, it reduces the chances that respondents can employ strategic behavior and tilt their responses to encourage their preferred policy option, rather than making responses which reflect their actual preferences." https://books.google.com/books?id=brDcAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA137&lpg=... |

faking / test faking Explanation: "Ein Grund für die Zurückhaltung der Deutschen gegenüber Persönlichkeitstests waren Vorurteile bezüglich der Akzeptanz dieser Verfahren (Schuler, Hell, Trapmann, Schaar & Boramir, 2007) sowie die Sorge um negative Effekte der Möglichkeit der Verfälschung („Faking“) auf die Kriteriumsvalidität (Ones, Viswesvaran & Reiss, 1996). " "Testfaking (Verfälschung) Dieser zweite Problembereich erweist sich als deutlich ..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2015-10-30 21:59:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Absichtliche Testverfälschung. Diese wird auch Faking genannt und tritt vor allem in subjektiven Tests auf. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2015-10-31 05:32:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Then perhaps "dissimulation / deceptive behaviour"? e.g. "candidates may exaggerate their ability and present false personality traits of themselves. However, some research found out that faking not only threatens the validity but also associate with other forms of deceptive behaviour (Peterson, Griffith, Isaacson, O’Connell & Mangos 2011)." Test warnings often refer to faking though e.g. https://books.google.ie/books?id=XAdd3JBiaMkC&pg=PA194 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day3 hrs (2015-10-31 21:17:54 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks. Yes, the ST seems to need more than one term. https://books.google.ie/books?id=Y4990CfV3wgC&pg=PA126 Reference: http://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/229070/files/4739.... |
