Abstract

The Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A) is an implicit assessment of Aggression. The CRT- A has predicted various counterproductive behaviors in the workplace above and beyond self-reported aggression assessment with US participants. In addition, Croatian participants also demonstrated cross-cultural generalizability. This study further investigated the measurement equivalence of the CRT-A on Korean participants. Factor analysis and Differential Item Functioning analysis with 432 US participants and 363 Korean participants demonstrated that the Korean version of the CRT-A is not equivalent. The results revealed that biases exist at the construct level and at the item level in the Korean version of the CRT-A.

Highlights

  • Publication History: The Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A) is an implicit assessment of Aggression

  • We explored measurement (CRT-A) equivalence with Korean samples using two different models: factor analysis (FA) and item response theory (IRT)

  • FA approaches to measurement invariance are different from IRT approaches, as FA investigates the construct from a scale level, while IRT explores it from an item level

Summary

Introduction

Publication History: The Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A) is an implicit assessment of Aggression. The CRT- A has predicted various counterproductive behaviors in the workplace above and beyond self-reported aggression assessment with US participants. James contends that JMs are in place for implicitly aggressive individuals’ reasoning processes These individuals are aggressive and ready to justify their aggressive dispositions. Individuals who endorse an aggressive response will score +1, a pro-social response will score -1, and an illogical response will score 0 James and his colleagues validated the measure, which showed promising validity in predicting employee absenteeism; counterproductive behaviors such as a theft, sabotage, and work performance [5]; perception of injustice; and obstructionism by basketball players [11]. We explored measurement (CRT-A) equivalence with Korean samples using two different models: factor analysis (FA) and item response theory (IRT).
