“An attempt was made to evaluate acquiescence response-set variance in the F scale measure of authoritarian personality trends by employing reversed wordings of items. Response set is found to be an important factor in the F scale which cannot easily be corrected by the practice usual in attitude test construction of employing both positively and negatively worded items. Evidence seems to indicate in addition that the content component of the F scale is correlated with the acquiescence response set.” (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
