Multiple choice items were administered to two groups of students. Group A (N= 60) was instructed to mark each sub-item which they thought true, group B (N= 57), to indicate both which of the sub-items they thought true and which false. Both groups were advised to guess. The time, RW scores, reliability, and validity were equivalent for the two groups. There was, however, a significant difference in" acquiescence" scores, ie number of items marked as true. These scores vary with the percentage of true and false items in the test, due to the" acquiescent" tendency to guess items as true rather than false. If further study should prove acquiescence to be a genuine influence, students should be told, before taking a test, the percentage of items keyed" true," so that they may adjust their responses accordingly.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
