“…Specifically for evaluation, this translates to children not wanting to tell an adult that the system they have built is not great. A positive rating is further encouraged through acquiescence bias, or the tendency of respondent's to agree or respond positively [6] Demand characteristics can also encourage positive responses, with evaluation participants forming an opinion of the purpose of the study and consciously or unconsciously adjusting their opinions or behaviour as a result [19,25]. In all of our studies, we mitigate these biases clearly explaining purpose, highlighting that it is MIXER being evaluated not the children.…”

This paper focuses on achieving optimal responses through supporting children's judgements, using Smiley Face Likert scales as a rating scale for quantitative questions in evaluations. It highlights the need to provide appropriate methods for children to communicate judgements, highlighting that the traditional Smiley Face Likert scale does not provide an appropriate method. The paper outlines a range of studies, identifying that to achieve differentiated data and full use of rating scales by children that faces with positive emotions should be used within Smiley Face Likert scales. The proposed rating method, the Five Degrees of Happiness Smiley Face Likert scale, was used in a largescale summative evaluation of a Serious Game resulting in variance within and between children, with all points of the scale used.

“…First, the inclusion of reverse-scored indirect indicators reduces acquiescence bias-a tendency by respondents to agree with items-that could affect the SWLS (Danner, Aichholzer, & Rammstedt, 2015;Pavot & Diener, 1993). Reverse-scored items, or negatively worded or negatively valenced items in a scale that also includes positively worded or positively valenced items, might produce a second factor due to method effects (DiStefano & Motl, 2009;Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Lee, & Podsakoff, 2003).…”

The Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) has been the dominant measure of life satisfaction since its creation more than 30 years ago. We sought to develop an improved measure that includes indirect indicators of life satisfaction (e.g., wishing to change one's life) to increase the bandwidth of the measure and account for acquiescence bias. In 3 studies, we developed a 6-item

“…Findings on effects volume 5(1),  of response styles on personality have been rather mixed. Some studies reported that the structure, mean levels, and variance of personality measures were confounded by response styles (e.g., Danner, Aichholzer, & Rammstedt, 2015;Rammstedt, Goldberg, & Borg, 2010), whereas other studies reported negligible effects of response styles on personality measures both within and across cultures (e.g., Grimm & Church, 1999;Ones, Viswesvaran, & Reiss, 1996). Still, it is unclear whether correction for response styles results in higher validity and better comparability of personality measures.…”

The flourishing of cross-cultural personality research requires a keen eye for rigorous methodology in such research. With decades of experience in cross-cultural research methods, we have come to appreciate that methodological aspects of such studies are critical for obtaining valid findings. Ill-designed or -conducted studies may produce results that are difficult to interpret. A careful design and analysis can help to deal with various methodological problems in cross-cultural personality studies. Drawing on the extensive knowledge that has been accumulated in cross-cultural and personality research in the past decades, we describe a framework of bias and equivalence that enables the choice of adequate research methods and the avoidance of pitfalls that endanger valid conclusions in cross-cultural personality research. Specifically, we focus on sampling issues, test adaptations, and the combination of emic and etic approaches in this short review article. We encourage researchers to use the tools and experience that are available to considerably enlarge our insights in cross-cultural differences and similarities in personality research.key words bias; research design; equivalence; etic-emic Choosing an adequate design and analysis in cross-cultural personality research corresponding author -Jia He, Ph.D.,
