Subject: Computer Surveys

Our research group at the Navy Personnel R&D Center in San Diego has been
looking at response differences between computer and pencil&paper surveys.
The literature seems quite inconsistent-- sometimes more "honest" responding
on computer, sometimes no differences, sometimes more impression management
on computer (recent JAP article).

The obvious-- computer creates anonymity which leads to more "honest"
responding-- doesn't seem so obvious anymore.  As there are many
cognitive oriented psychologists who contribute to this group, I was
wondering what other reasons there might be for response differences
between computer and P&P.  Please speculate, hypothesize or just plain
guess.  Thanks

Reference Manager for a LAN: A request for information

We have been investigating the possibility of including a reference
manager on the department's LAN.  However, commercial software vendors
have typically responded that they do not have a network version nor
do they intend to develop one in the near future.  Have we missed a
potential vendor?  Have other departments developed their own solutions
for data base management of references?  Any information that can be
provided would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply to JDANKS@KENTVM.

Subject: Request for Data

        My colleague and I are doing some simulation studies on the
        effects of response sets on factor analytic results.  To extend
        the generality of our findings, we would like to use some
        existing data that have been collected recently.  If you have a
        data set that meets the following requirements, and are willing
        to share the information with us, please email me at
        hui@psych.toronto.edu.  Your contribution will, of course, be
        duly acknowledged.

        - used a reasonably well-known personality instrument that has
        been demonstrated to be multidimensional;
        - your analysis of the data set also confirmed the existence of
        the various factors;
        - most respondents did not miss any items; and
        - the number of respondents is at least 10 times of that of items
        in the instrument.
