“…In addition, Weijters, Geuens, and Schillewaert (2010b) analyzed data of 604 respondents with latent state-trait models and reported that 60% of acquiescence variance is stable over one year. Similarly, other authors have considered the response bias associated with wording effects as wording method factors and also find relatively high stability of these factors, for instance, in the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Gana et al, 2013;Marsh, Scalas, & Nagengast, 2010;Motl & DiStefano, 2002). These results do suggest that a substantial proportion of acquiescence is stable over time.…”

“…Similar to Gana et al's () studies, eight measurement models of the RSES were evaluated (Figure ). Model 1 posited a global self‐esteem factor, while Model 2 posited two oblique factors, positive and negative self‐esteem.…”

“…Recent longitudinal studies support the latter view; models incorporating both positive and negative method effects consistently show the best fit to data across time (Gana et al, ; Marsh et al, ; Motl & DiStefano, ). Moreover, method effects in the RSES are related to important personality constructs (DiStefano & Motl, ; Lindwall et al, ; Quilty et al, ).…”

“…Although considerable research has revealed that there is better goodness of fit for models that incorporate method effects, another important debate has arisen concerning their nature. Some researchers consider method effects as methodological artifacts that require statistical remedies to control and minimize their effects (Greenberger, Chen, Dmitrieva, & Farruggia, ), while others consider them an essential requirement in RSES responses that reflect stable response styles and enduring individual characteristics (Gana et al, ; Marsh, ; Marsh et al, ; Quilty, Oakman, & Risko, ).…”

Self-esteem is a widely studied construct in psychology that is typically measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). However, a series of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have suggested that a simple and widely used unidimensional factor model does not provide an adequate explanation of RSES responses due to method effects. To identify the neural correlates of the method effect, we sought to determine whether and how method effects were associated with the RSES and investigate the neural basis of these effects. Two hundred and eighty Chinese college students (130 males; mean age = 22.64 years) completed the RSES and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Behaviorally, method effects were linked to both positively and negatively worded items in the RSES. Neurally, the right amygdala volume negatively correlated with the negative method factor, while the hippocampal volume positively correlated with the general self-esteem factor in the RSES. The neural dissociation between the general self-esteem factor and negative method factor suggests that there are different neural mechanisms underlying them. The amygdala is involved in modulating negative affectivity; therefore, the current study sheds light on the nature of method effects that are related to self-report with a mix of positively and negatively worded items.

C H R O N I C L E A B S T R A C TEngaging customer is the burning issue for companies especially the service sector, either online or offline. Minimizing the customer disengagement is the same like reducing dissatisfaction or churn. Customer disengagement may be caused by many factors, ad skepticism is one of them; ad skepticism has two main antecedents personality variable and consumption/influencing variables. This research explores the relationship of ad skepticism with customer disengagement through personality variables which are cynicism, reactance and self-esteem. The unit of analysis is the telecom and banking industry of Pakistan which is foreseeing an era of virtual currency and both are customer oriented industries. Only offline disengagement is researched and data is collected from the Business centers of telecom and banking branches dealing with virtual currency in Pakistan. Hypothetical model is given after digging the relevant literature; model is tested through confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Eight hypotheses were purposed from the connections of model, all hypotheses are accepted except the cynicism positive effect on social ad skepticism. This can be due to commonality of social and charity in Pakistani society, Muslims consider charity as a pious act and they do not think for cynic behavior in charity or social related works. The results manifest that customers in telecom industry are having ad skepticism and that is becoming the cause of their disengagement. Further, social ad skepticism has more impact on the customer disengagement than the general ad skepticism. While the reactance has more effect on general ad skepticism than other antecedents and cynicism has the lowest impact on social ad skepticism than other antecedents.
