Subjective measures (SMs) of awareness assume (a) participants can accurately report the implicit/explicit status of their knowledge and (b) the act of reporting does not change that knowledge. However, SMs suffer from nonveridicality (e.g., overreporting of “guess” responses) and reactivity (e.g., prompting rule search). Attempting to improve the validity of “guess” responses, we conducted an exploratory mixed-methods replication of Rebuschat et al. (2013). Participants (N = 30) were randomly assigned to Traditional, True Guess, and NoSMs conditions. True Guess participants were led to believe the computer would replace “guess” responses with random answers. Confirming that SMs are reactive, Traditional and True Guess participants responded more slowly and accurately, with greater awareness of the linguistic target. Moreover, although True Guess participants responded “guess” less frequently, interviews revealed this was due not to greater veridicality, but rather to additional reactivity. We conclude with directions for further research to enhance the validity of SMs.

探索主观意识测量的真实性和反应性

主观意识测量 (SM) 假设 (a) 参与者可以准确地报告其知识的隐式/显式状态，并且 (b) 报告的行为不会改变该知识。然而，SM 受到非真实性（例如，过度报告“猜测”响应）和反应性（例如，提示规则搜索）的影响。为了提高“猜测”响应的有效性，我们进行了 Rebuschat 等人的探索性混合方法复制。（2013）。参加者（ñ= 30) 被随机分配到传统、真实猜测和 NoSMs 条件。True Guess 参与者被引导相信计算机会用随机答案代替“猜测”反应。确认 SM 是反应性的，传统和真猜的参与者反应更慢、更准确，对语言目标有更高的认识。此外，虽然 True Guess 参与者不太频繁地回答“猜测”，但采访显示这不是因为更真实，而是因为额外的反应性。我们总结了进一步研究的方向，以提高 SM 的有效性。
