Popis: Conditional reasoning (CR) is a new item format that measures personality by indirectly assessing reliance upon the cognitive biases associated with specific traits ( James et al., 2005 ). Previous research suggests that, relative to self-report measures, responses on CR-based measures are more difficult to distort ( LeBreton, Barksdale, Robin, & James, 2007 ). The issue of response distortion in the context of CR-based measures was evaluated in two studies. Study 1 (within-subjects) and Study 2 (between-subjects) both investigated whether responses on a CR-based test of addiction could be faked when indirect assessment was upheld. Results of both studies indicated that, unlike a self-report measure of a similar construct, the CR-based measure was unaffected by response distortion.
