Abstract

Background: In spite of the interest generated by controlling variance unrelated to the content in personality measures, few studies have assessed the combined impact of acquiescence (ACQ) and correlated residuals in the factor-analytic structural solutions that serve as a basis for item calibration.

Method: This article compares three control procedures in databases that simultaneously exhibit acquiescence (ACQ) and correlated residuals: the SIREN method (Navarro-Gonzalez, et al., 2024; ACQ control), the MORGANA method (Ferrando et al., 2022; 2023; correlated residuals control), and a combined double control method. A 'control' procedure was also examined in which the presence of both determinants was ignored.

Results: The findings reveal significant differences between the three control methods, with the ACQ control method and the combined method proving more effective. Moreover, when the residual variance shifts to the factor loadings, it appears to be captured by the ACQ correction method.

Conclusions: The findings suggest using a mixed correction procedure in order to obtain less biased item parameter estimates when both sources of unwanted variance are operating.

当相关残差存在时，修正默认的影响和后果。

背景：尽管控制与人格测量内容无关的方差引起了人们的兴趣，但很少有研究评估默许（ACQ）和相关残差在作为项目校准基础的因素分析结构解中的综合影响。方法：本文比较了数据库中同时表现出默许（ACQ）和相关残差的三种控制方法：SIREN方法(；ACQ控制)，MORGANA方法(；;相关残差控制)和组合双重控制方法。还检查了一个“控制”程序，其中两个决定因素的存在被忽略。Navarro-Gonzalez, et al. 2024 Ferrando et al. 2022 2023结果：研究结果显示三种控制方法之间存在显著差异，其中ACQ控制方法和组合方法更为有效。此外，当残差方差转移到因子负载时，它似乎被ACQ校正方法捕获。结论：研究结果建议使用混合校正程序，以获得较少偏差的项目参数估计，当两个来源的不需要的方差操作。
