Confounding among Measures of Leniency and Halo.

Alliger, George M.; Williams, Kevin J.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v49 n1 p1-10 Spr 1989

The interrelationships among halo and leniency rating errors were examined using simulated rating data. As leniency increased, halo decreased when measured by dimension intercorrelations but increased when measured by standard deviations across dimensions. Implications of these results for the use of the various measures are discussed. (SLD)
