使用调查和长期心理学工具的研究人员假设，反应集随着时间的推移是恒定的。来自三项研究的数据对这一假设提出了挑战。问卷采用了不同的回答形式、主题和主题。跨相邻时间段的反应集的相关性形成了单纯形，这表明跨相邻时间段的响应集比跨较远时间段的响应集更相似。探讨了反应集的不稳定性对解释用长仪器获得的社会科学发现的影响。
Researchers who use surveys and long psychological instruments assume that response sets are constant over time. Data from three studies are presented that challenge this assumption. Questionnaires of different response formats, subjects, and topics were used. Correlations of the response sets across adjacent time periods formed a simplex, suggesting that the response sets across adjacent time periods were more similar than the response sets across distant time periods. The implications of the instability of response sets for the interpretation of social science findings obtained with long instruments are explored.
