In distortion humor, new characteristics are imaginatively added to the identity in a way that leads to absurdity. In both cases, incompatible attributes are experienced in relation to…
The Accuracy of Evaluations Made by Logical and Illogical Raters Using a Mixed Standard Scale Format
The present study compared rating accuracy of logical and illogical raters on mixed standard scales. A laboratory methodology was used so that the true level of ratee performance would be available and Cronbach's (1955) accuracy components could serve as dependent measures. Analyses indicated that illogical raters were less accurate than were logical raters, but only on differential evaluation. Implications for personnel practice and future resea…
A Comparison of Mixed Standard Scale Ratings Calculated with Blanz and Ghiselli's and Saal's Scoring Algorithms
The present study compared the accuracy of mixed standard scale (MSS) ratings determined with either the Blanz and Ghiselli (1972) or the Saal (1979) scoring algorithm. A laboratory methodology was used so that the true level of ratee performance would be available and the accuracy of ratings could serve as dependent measures. Eighty-four undergraduate students observed four videotapes of managers interacting with subordinates and rated each mana…
