Abstract

The essay reports two studies on confirmatory factor analysis of speeded data with an effect of selective responding. This response strategy leads test takers to choose their own working order instead of completing the items along with the given order. Methods for detecting speededness despite such a deviation from the given order are proposed and investigated. The first study demonstrated that speededness was not detectable if the deviation was large and selected by all test takers but ignored in investigating the data. Adaptation to the selected working order restored the detectability. The second study assumed four groups of test takers selecting group-specific working orders. Detection of speededness required a confirmatory factor model with speed factors adapted to group-specific working orders.

摘要

本文报告了两项关于具有选择性响应效应的加速数据的验证性因素分析的研究。这种响应策略导致应试者选择自己的工作顺序，而不是按照给定的顺序完成项目。提出并研究了尽管与给定顺序有这种偏差但仍能检测速度的方法。第一项研究表明，如果偏差很大并且所有应试者都选择了但在调查数据时忽略了，则无法检测到速度。适应选定的工作顺序恢复了可检测性。第二项研究假设四组应试者选择特定组的工作顺序。速度检测需要一个验证因子模型，该模型具有适应特定组工作指令的速度因子。
