Our aim is to advance response shift research by explicating the implications of published syntheses by the Response Shift - in Sync Working Group in an integrative way and suggesting ways for improving the quality of future response shift studies.
Members of the Working Group further discussed the syntheses of the literature on definitions, theoretical underpinnings, operationalizations, and response shift methods. They outlined areas in need of further explication and refinement, and delineated additional implications for future research.
First, the proposed response shift definition was further specified and its implications for the interpretation of results explicated in relation to former, published definitions. Second, the proposed theoretical model was further explained in relation to previous theoretical models and its implications for formulating research objectives highlighted. Third, ways to explore alternative explanations per response shift method and their implications for response shift detection and explanation were delineated. The implications of the diversity of the response shift methods for response shift research were presented. Fourth, the implications of the need to enhance the quality and reporting of the response shift studies for future research were sketched.
With our work, we intend to contribute to a common language regarding response shift definitions, theory, and methods. By elucidating some of the major implications of earlier work, we hope to advance response shift research.
通过综合阐述 Response Shift-in-Sync 工作组发表的综合研究结果，明确响应转移研究的意义，并为提高未来响应转移研究的质量提出建议。
工作组的成员进一步讨论了文献中关于定义、理论基础、操作化和响应转移方法的综合研究。他们概述了需要进一步阐述和细化的领域，并为未来的研究描绘了更多的潜在影响。
首先，进一步明确了拟议的响应转移定义，并在与以前发表的定义的关系中，对其对结果解释的影响进行了阐述。其次，进一步解释了拟议的理论模型，与以前的理论模型进行了比较，并突出了对研究目标制定的影响。第三，描述了如何探索每个响应转移方法的替代解释及其对响应转移检测和解释的影响。提出了不同的响应转移方法对响应转移研究的多样性的影响。最后，勾勒出未来研究中需要提高响应转移研究的质量和报告的影响。
我们的工作旨在为响应转移定义、理论和方法提供共同的语言。通过阐明早期工作的一些主要意义，我们希望能够推动响应转移研究的发展。
