Self-report measures are characterized as being susceptible to threats associated with deliberate dissimulation or response distortion (i.e., social desirability responding) and careless responding. Careless responding typically arises in low-stakes settings (e.g., participating in a study for course credit) where some respondents are not motivated to respond in a conscientious manner to the items. In contrast, in high-stakes assessments (e.g., prehire assessments), because of the outcomes associated with their responses, respondents are motivated to present themselves in as favorable a light as possible and, thus, may respond dishonestly in an effort to accomplish this objective. In this article, we draw a distinction between the lazy respondent, which we associate with careless responding, and the dishonest respondent, which we associate with response distortion. We then seek to answer the following questions for both careless responding and response distortion: (a) What is it? (b) Why is it a problem or concern? (c) Why do people engage in it? (d) How pervasive is it? (e) Can and how is it prevented or mitigated? (f) How is it detected? (g) What does one do when one detects it? We conclude with a discussion of suggested future research directions and some practical guidelines for practitioners and researchers.

懒惰或不诚实的受访者:检测和预防

自我报告措施的特征是容易受到与故意模仿或应对扭曲(即,对社会的期望作出回应)和粗心应对有关的威胁。粗心的回答通常会出现在低风险的环境中(例如,参加课程学分的学习),在这种情况下,一些答卷者没有积极地对项目做出认真回应的动力。相反,在高风险评估(例如,聘前评估)中,由于与回答相关的结果,被调查者被激励以尽可能有利的态度陈述自己,因此,他们可能不诚实地做出回应以努力做到这一点目的。在本文中,我们将懒惰的响应者(与粗心的响应相关联)与不诚实的响应者区分开来,我们将其与响应失真联系在一起。然后,我们尝试针对粗心的响应和响应失真问题回答以下问题:(a)是什么?(b)为什么会有问题或担忧?(c)人们为什么参与其中?(d)它有多普遍?(e)是否可以以及如何预防或减轻?(f)如何检测到?(g)一个人检测到它会做什么?最后,我们讨论了建议的未来研究方向以及针对从业人员和研究人员的一些实用指南。
