几十年来，差异分数被广泛用于组织研究中的一致性研究。虽然差异分数的方法问题是众所周知的，很少有可行的替代方案已经提出。一种替代方案涉及使用多项式回归方程，其允许直接测试差异分数旨在表示的关系。不幸的是，多项式回归方程的系数往往很难解释。我们使用响应面方法来开发一个解释性框架，并使用一个著名的人-环境研究的数据来说明它。最初的研究中没有报道的几个重要发现出现了。
For decades, difference scores have been widely used in studies of congruence in organizational research. Although methodological problems with difference scores are well known, few viable alternatives have been proposed. One alternative involves the use of polynomial regression equations, which permit direct tests of the relationships difference scores are intended to represent. Unfortunately, coefficients from polynomial regression equations are often difficult to interpret. We used response surface methodology to develop an interpretive framework and illustrate it using data from a well-known person-environment study. Several important findings not reported in the original study emerged.
