Five measures of extreme response style were compared across 6,146 study participants from 36 countries: the traditional measure, a modified traditional measure, the individual standard deviation, an index of dispersion and an index of entropy. The traditional measure of extreme response style, whereby the two extreme categories of an item or rating scale are assigned a value of ‘1’, all interior categories are assigned a value of ‘0’ and the sum of the ‘1’ values reflects the extent of extreme responding behaviour, performed slightly better than the other extreme response style measures examined with respect to reliability and ability to discriminate. The traditional measure of extreme response style was positively related to the variance of an attitudinal variable but unrelated to its mean. It was also related to Hofstede's cultural orientation variables of individualism-collectivism and power distance. Future cross-cultural and cross-national empirical research should systematically incorporate measures of extreme responding so that more is learned about the phenomenon and its possible effects.

Abstract Cross-mode surveys are on the rise. Unfortunately, data obtained from different modes of data collection (e.g., telephone and online data) may not be comparable due to measurement bias, especially differences in acquiescence, disacquiescence, extreme and midpoint response styles. This article discusses a study that finds response style differences between data based on the same questionnaire, but obtained by different modes of data collection: paper-and-pencil questionnaires, telephone interviews, and online questionnaires. Similar problems may also occur in cross-national data. We propose a new method to measure response styles and correct for them: the representative indicators response style means and covariance structure (RIRSMACS) method

Zusammenfassung. Die Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Rumination und der persönlichen Zielerreichung bei Leistungssportlern. Im Rahmen einer Längsschnittuntersuchung, haben 44 Schwimmer_innen an einer Onlinebefragung mit vier Messzeitpunkten während der Wettkampfsaison 2014/15 teilgenommen. Der Online-Fragebogen enthielt neben der deutschen Version des Rumination Response Style Questionnaires (RSQ-D; Kühner, Huffziger & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2007 ), Fragen zu persönlichen Zielen und biographische sowie sportbezogene Fragen. Unter Berücksichtigung der individuellen Angaben zur Zielerreichung am Ende der Wettkampfsaison, wurden die Sportler_innen einer Realisierungsgruppe (n = 17) oder Vergleichsgruppe (n = 27) zugeordnet. Mittels multivarianter Varianzanalyse (MANOVA) wurde getestet, ob globale Unterschiede in der Rumination zu Beginn und am Ende der Wettkampfsaison zwischen den Gruppen bestehen. Sportler_innen, welche ihr individuelles Ziel erreicht haben, weisen im Vergleich zu denjenigen, die ihre Ziele nicht erreicht haben, niedrigere Ruminationswerte auf. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass Rumination im Kontext der Zielerreichung auftritt und ein relevanter Faktor für den Leistungssport darstellen könnte.
