Inventory Responding as a Model of People's Acceptance of Personality Interpretations.

Layne, Christopher; Michels, Philip J.

Journal of Personality Assessment, v43 n5 p509-13 Oct 1979

A Barnum group rated the personal accuracies of a list of personality inventory items and then an equivalent list of bogus feedback. The correlation between their inventory and feedback ratings was highly significant. Variables influencing inventory responding exerted an equal influence upon feedback acceptance. (Author/GDC)
