Replication data from a 2026 study on acquiescence bias in agree-disagree survey scales. The dataset likely contains results from 160 tests and an internal meta-analysis examining how this bias distorts relationships between constructs like populism and racism. It was authored by Andrew Engelhardt and hosted on the Political Behavior Dataverse.
Use Cases
- Replicate analyses on the impact of acquiescence bias on criterion validity based on the described 160 tests.
- Conduct meta-analyses on bias variation across samples and constructs as referenced in the description.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of balanced scales as a solution for measurement error mentioned in the study.
- Assess the sensitivity of construct relationships to different measurement models discussed in the paper.
Strengths
- Based on a study involving 160 distinct tests of acquiescence bias.
- Includes an internal meta-analysis examining bias variation across samples and constructs.
- Evaluates specific methodological solutions like balanced scales and measurement models.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
