Effects of different calibration constraints on calibration estimators under the randomized response technique

Randomized Response ◽

Self Presentation ◽

Actual Use

This study contributes to the literature on self-presentation by comparing recruiters’ expectations about applicants’ self-presentational behaviors in personnel selection settings to applicants’ actual use of these behaviors. Recruiters (N = 51) rated the perceived appropriateness of 24 self-presentational behaviors. In addition, the prevalence of these behaviors was separately assessed in two subsamples of applicants (N1 = 416 and N2 = 88) with the randomized response technique. In line with the script concept, the results revealed that recruiters similarly evaluated the appropriateness of specific self-presentational behaviors and that applicants’ general use of these behaviors corresponded to recruiters’ shared expectations. The findings indicate that applicants who use strategic self-presentational behaviors may just be trying to fulfill situational requirements.

Multiple Sensitive Questions

Sensitive questions are often involved in healthcare or medical survey research. Much empirical evidence has shown that the randomized response technique is useful for the collection of truthful responses. However, few studies have discussed methods to estimate the dependence of sensitive responses of multiple types. This study aims to fill that gap by considering a method based on moment estimation and without using the joint distribution of the responses. In addition to the construction of a covariance matrix for the multiple sensitive questions despite incomplete information due to the randomized response technique design, we can calculate the conditional mean of continuous sensitive responses given as categorical responses and partial correlations among continuous sensitive responses. We conduct a simulation experiment to study the bias and variance of the moment estimator with various sample sizes. We apply the proposed method in a healthcare study of the dependence structure among the responses of a survey concerning health and pressure on college students.
