  • The Impact of Attentiveness Interventions on Survey Data

    Open AccessChristie M Fuller, Marcia J Simmering et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2025

    Social and behavioral science researchers who use survey data are vigilant about data quality, with an increasing emphasis on avoiding common method variance (CMV) and insufficient effort responding (IER). Each of these errors can inflate and deflate substantive relationships, and there are both a priori and post hoc means to address them. Yet, little research has investigated how both IER and CMV are affected with the use of these different proc…

  • Cognitive biases and research miscitations

    Open AccessMarcia J Simmering, Christie M Fuller et al.ARTICLEApplied Psychology2024References: 3

    Prior research on miscitations in academic literatures have painted a dismal picture of high rates of inaccuracy. While this issue and the problems that stem from inaccurate citations have been reviewed, the attention given to the causes of such inaccuracies has so far been narrow. The primary rationale given for citation errors is author lack of motivation. In the current manuscript, we suggest that examining the potential for cognitive biases t…

  • Marker Variable Choice, Reporting, and Interpretation in the Detection of Common Method Variance

    Open AccessMarcia J Simmering, Christie M Fuller et al.ARTICLEOrganizational Research Methods2015

    This article investigates in two ways the use and reporting of marker variables to detect common method variance (CMV) in organizational research. First, a review of 398 empirical articles and 41 unpublished dissertations that employ marker variables indicates that authors are not reporting adequate information regarding marker variable choice and use, are choosing inappropriate marker variables, and are possibly making errors in their assessment…

  • Exploring touch as a positive workplace behavior

    Open AccessBryan Fuller, Marcia J Simmering et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2011Cited by: 2References: 58

    Whereas most research has focused on the negative aspects of touch in the workplace (i.e. sexual harassment), this study focuses upon the positive use of touch. In an effort to explain individual differences in the use of workplace touch, three sequential studies are used to introduce the concepts of workplace touch self-efficacy and workplace touch initiation anxiety. In Study 1 we develop scales to assess the constructs. Study 2 provides an ini…
