Modeling Acquiescence in Measurement Models for Two Balanced Sets of Items
Abstract
This article concerns a number of conditions that must be met before reaching a conclusion about the existence of the agreement component of a response style called acquiescence. The focus is on the specification of a common style factor behind at least 2 independent theoretical concepts, each measured by a balanced set of items. The proposed approach is explored with a random subsample (N = 986) from a large-scale survey, and subsequently confirmed in another subsample (N = 992) from the same population (Flanders) and in a random sample (N = 1,055) from a different population (Wallonia). The strong relation in both populations of the latent style factor with a variable "sum of agreements" supports the idea that it is possible to control for acquiescence in structural equations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
