The validity of self-reports is a critical issue in both clinical assessment and intervention. Numerous factors such as social desirability, item scaling, and item context have been evaluated for their impact on self-report. The Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS; Straus, 1979) have been utilized in several formats intended to maximize the accuracy of reports, alternately trying to provide a context that legitimizes and promotes reporting of aggression by presenting items in a hierarchical order, or reducing response sets by presenting items in an interspersed order. The current study sought to determine if item-order effects impacted self-reports of aggression, depression, and problem alcohol use, and to illuminate possible causes of such an effect, such as differences in reaction time. Item order was found to significantly affect reports of depressive symptoms, but not aggression or substance use, in a college student sample. Reaction time was positively correlated with self-reports on both the CTS and BDI. The interspersed item-order did not result in an increase in self-reports of aggression on the CTS. However, increasing participants' reaction times by experimental manipulation resulted in increased self-reports of aggression. In addition, an examination of the self-reported prevalence rates of partner aggression via computer presentation showed that the rates were significantly higher than when aggression has been assessed with pencil-and-paper formats. Implications of these findings regarding the impact of presentation factors on self-reports of sensitive information are discussed.
