Abstract

Kinesthetic Aftereffect (KAE), once a promising personality index, has been abandoned by many investigators because of poor retest reliability and intermittent validity. In challenging this current consensus, we argue that (a) first-session KAE is valid; (b) poor retest reliability simply reflects later-session bias; (c) hence, multisession studies should not be used to assess validity without taking this bias into account. Those recent studies which failed to support KAE validity were each multisession in design. If our bias contention is correct, these studies should be ignored, and the claim of intermittent validity is thus rebutted. Reanalysis of the most recent major multisession, nonsupportive validity study indicates (a) Session 1 validity, (b) later-session bias, and (c) later-session valdiity when multisession scores are combined to avoid bias. Thus, KAE validly measures personality.

摘要

动觉后效（KAE）曾是一个很有前景的人格指标，但由于重测信度低和效度不稳定，已被许多研究者摒弃。在挑战当前这一共识时，我们认为：（a）首次测试的KAE是有效的；（b）重测信度低仅仅反映了后续测试中的偏差；（c）因此，在未考虑这种偏差的情况下，多阶段研究不应被用于评估效度。那些最近未能支持KAE效度的研究在设计上均为多阶段研究。如果我们关于偏差的论点正确，这些研究就应被忽略，从而反驳了效度不稳定的说法。对最近一项主要的多阶段、不支持效度的研究重新分析表明：（a）第一阶段的效度；（b）后续阶段的偏差；（c）当将多阶段得分合并以避免偏差时的后续阶段效度。因此，KAE能够有效地测量人格。
