ERS can be controlled for by using an additional (random) sample of response style indicators (i.e., a separate, random sample of survey items). There are two options to draw response style indicators to control for ERS: from only one versus from multiple domains. In two studies (four samples in total), this paper examines the domain dependency of ERS across three domains: consumer behavior, interpersonal relationships and politics. We find in the four samples repeated evidence suggesting that ERS has a domain specific component. This finding calls into question the (often encountered) assumption that it does not matter from which domains ERS measures are drawn.Show less >
