Abstract
In response to an earlier article in which the present authors discuss scale recalibration and concept redefinition, Terborg, Maxwell, and Howard voice certain criticisms. This reply comments on each of the criticisms and cities evidence that suggests that the retrospective procedure is subject to respondent rhetoric-the omission, juxtaposition, and embellishment of recollections-and thus is of limited value.
