I can't put my hands on the research right now, but I recall seeing papers that suggest in testing using multiple choice questions, there are group biases exhibited in choosing certain answer options (A, B, C, D, etc.). He couldn't easily do this in this study, but had he been doing this study in a context where he had some control over the subject pools, he would have given half the subjects the test samples labled A, B and the other half the labels would have been B,A. Then in his tests, he could confirm that the order of the choices (A,B) did not interact with the variable of interest (coding method). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98010 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
