Publication Type: Paper/Poster Proposal Abstract: While we have discovered significant differences between Yes-No Grids and Multiple Response techniques in behavioral self-reports (Thomas, Behnke, Lafond, & Smith, 2003), we sought to expand our investigation of alternative techniques and explored how the various self-report techniques varied with regard to time interval. For each specific time frame, respondents were randomly assigned to one of the following response formats: Yes-No Grid, Multiple Response, Numeric Box, 5 Category Grid, 5 Category Drop Down Box. Since one of the explanations as to why the Multiple Response format leads to lowered behavioral self-reports is that respondents are more likely to satisfice with a multiple response format, we varied the number of elements for the respondent to consider. In addition, since we believed that a multiple response format would be more prone to satisficing based on survey length, we randomly assigned respondents to complete the self-report task either at the beginning or near the end of a 20 minute survey. We replicated the finding that the Yes-No Grid led to higher behavioral self-report than the Multiple Response format across time intervals. However, our results for the various response formats as a function of survey position did not fully support a simple satisficing explanation for the differences between formats.
