A Hard Test of Individual Heterogeneity in Response Scale Usage: Evidence From Qatar
(
Oxford University Press
, 2016 , Article Review)
A common approach to correcting for interpersonal differences in response category
thresholds in surveys is the use of anchoring vignettes. Here we present results from
the first applications of anchoring vignettes in ...
