An Analysis of Psychological Processes of Responding to Personality Inventory Items through Item Response Latencies

项目反应时间是认知心理学中的一个重要指标，它考察了人们对个性项目反应的认知过程。本研究采用明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）的新日文版，测量被试的项目反应时间。结果表明，被试对自我描述性项目的反应潜伏期比对非自我描述性项目的反应潜伏期短，与以往的研究结果相当，许多心理测验研究表明，反应偏差会影响反应潜伏期。本研究探讨了微妙与默许的关系，对项目微妙性的分析结果表明，微妙性有两个明显的特点，第一个项目隐藏了项目的得分关键方向，第二个项目是判断异常的无关项目。我应该决定哪些细微的项目会影响反应潜伏期。在默许的情况下，受试者被给予原始MMPI和反向MMPI两周。数据已经采集，但尚未分析。我将分析这些数据，并将展示微妙和默许如何影响反应潜伏期。

The cognitive processes of responding to personality items are examined through item response latencies, which are an important index in the cognitive psychology. In this research, the item response latencies were measured by a computerized administration of the New Japanese Version of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The results showed that an item response latency for a self-descriptive item is shorter than one for a not self-descriptive item, and comparable with findings of previous studies.Many studies of psychological testing suggest that response biases influence the response latencies. This study investigated subtlety and acquiescence.An analysis of the results of item subtlety indicates two distinct subtle items ; the first hides item's score key direction, and the second is irrelevant item to judge abnormality. I should decide which subtle item will influence the response latency.On acquiescence, subjects were given both the original MMPI and a reversed form of the MMPI two weeks apart. Data has been taken, but not analyzed. I will analysis the data, and will show how subtlety and acquiescence influence the response latency.
