On the validity of non-randomized response techniques: an experimental comparison of the crosswise model and the triangular model

Abstract: Non-randomized response techniques (NRRTs) such as the crosswise model and the triangular model (CWM and TRM; Yu et al. Metrika, 67, 251-263, 2008) have been developed to control for socially desirable responding in surveys on sensitive personal attributes. We present the first study to directly compare the validity of the CWM and TRM and contrast their performance with a conventional direct questioning (DQ) approach. In a paper-pencil survey of 1382 students, we obtained prevalence estimates for two sensiti… Show more

“…Fig 1 shows the CWM as a tree diagram. Significantly higher and thus presumably more valid prevalence estimates have been obtained via the CWM as compared to DQ for sensitive attributes such as xenophobia [10,11], plagiarism [12], tax evasion [13,14], distrust in the Trust Game [14], crossing the street on a red light in plain view of children [15], the use of anabolic steroids among bodybuilders [16], intention to vote for the far-right German party Alternative for Germany [17], and prejudice against female leaders [18]. Moreover, in one strong validation study, the CWM accurately estimated the prevalence of experimentally induced cheating behavior, while DQ led to a severe underestimation [19].…”

“…Alternatively, prejudiced individuals PLOS ONE may become increasingly aware of the growing social undesirability of their views and may therefore be more reluctant to express more blatant forms of prejudice openly [44]. Following this reasoning, estimates for the prevalence of Islamophobia based on direct self-reports are likely underestimates of the true value, and indirect questioning techniques may help to obtain more valid estimates [15,16,31,45]. If the ECWM is suitable as a new means of controlling for social desirability, it should provide higher and thus potentially more valid estimates for the prevalence of Islamophobia than a conventional direct question.…”

“…Moreover, the CWM is easier to provide instructions for, since in contrast to many RRTs it does not require an external randomization device [10]. The CWM has led to significantly higher and thus-according to the "more is better" criterion-presumably more valid prevalence estimates than direct questions in a number of studies investigating sensitive attributes such as xenophobia [15,16], plagiarism [17], tax evasion [18,19], the use of anabolic steroids by bodybuilders [20], the intention to vote for the far-right German party Alternative for Germany [21], distrust in the Trust Game [22] and prejudice against female leaders [23]. Moreover, the CWM was able to accurately estimate the known prevalence of experimentally induced cheating behavior [24].…”
