RESPONSE BIAS CORRECTION IN THE PROCESS DISSOCIATION PROCEDURE - APPROACHES, ASSUMPTIONS, AND EVALUATION

Buchner, Erdfelder, and Vaterrodt-Plunnecke (1995) advocated an exposi tion of the process dissociation procedure within the framework of mul tinomial modeling. Among the misleading aspects of this exposition is its tendency to obscure the overlap between processes. In contrast, cl arifying these crucial interactions leads to a general classification of response bias corrections to the process dissociation procedure. Th is scheme, in which corrective models are classified on the basis of p rocess interactions, clarifies the assumptions underlying previously p roposed corrections. As an illustration of the framework, three such c orrections are derived. These corrective models are evaluated by apply ing them to the data reported by Buchner et al. (1995).
