In an earlier study by Sprangers and Hoogstraten, a bogus-pipeline induction did remove response-style effects in the self-reported pretest. Response-shift bias, defined as a significant mean difference between conventional pre- and retrospective preratings, was consequently eliminated. It was concluded that response-style effects in the pretesting are a likely cause of response-shift bias. The present experiment was designed to examine whether these results are stable and generalizable to a different educational training. The present replication made use of the same bogus-pipeline procedure. The experimental training was a First Aid instructional film. Subjects were 53 freshmen in psychology who were fulfilling a course requirement. Contrary to expectation, a bogus-pipeline induction did not lower self-reported preratings. A response-shift did not occur in the bogus-pipeline or in the non-bogus-pipeline conditions. It was concluded that a construct not susceptible to removal of response-style effects is not susceptible to response-shift bias either. Results are consonant with the response-style basis for response-shift bias and show no contradiction of the former study. Data furthermore show that the administration of an objective pretest had no effect on subsequent objective posttreatment scores.

This paper describes development and field testing of a set of materials and procedures designed to educate parents to act as agents in the early identification of handicapping conditions in young children. The need for education was established through a survey of parents of preschoolers. Two means of disseminating information about early intervention were employed: 1) mass media, including radio and television messages, newspaper stories and distribution of pamphlets and developmental calendars and 2) group meetings employing an instructional film, discussion, calendars and brochures. The results of the efforts indicated that parents attending group meetings learned specific information about services available for young handicapped children and their legal educational rights. Communication via mass media stimulated requests for information but did not measurably affect parents' knowledge about early intervention. Because the materials and procedures served specific educational functions for parents, they would be suitable for incorporation into comprehensive Child Find efforts.
