Two separate experiments were reanalyzed to investigate the hypothesis that test familiarity influences style of response. IQ and attitude questionnaire responses of 47 Israeli male Bedouin adolescents were compared to 85 of their more Western-oriented Moroccan peers. Both groups showed evidence of a response style biased toward the extreme right of multiple choice arrays which was, however, more reliable among the Bedouins. English language exposure was presumed to have influenced the differential results. Researchers were cautioned to be aware of response style problems as a legitimate concern
