Limited Self-Knowledge and Survey Response Behavior

Falk, Armin; Neuber, Thomas; Strack, Philipp - 2021

develop a choice model of survey response behavior under the assumption that the respondent has imperfect self-knowledge about … characteristics increases in self-knowledge and that the variance for a given characteristic over time is non-monotonic in self-knowledge …. Importantly, the ratio of these variances identifies an individual's level of self-knowledge, i.e. the latter can be inferred from …
