Gender-Bias in Managers' Decision Regarding Pay-Raises”

In no country in the world today, women’s wages equal men’s. Scientists who investigated mechanism for the gender pay-gap have focused mainly on macro-level factors such as the over-representation of women in lowpaying jobs and different training of men and women. However, models attempting to explain the gender paygap with such factors reveal that a large proportion of the gap remains unexplai...

Detection Sensitivity and Response Bias

Who’s afraid of response bias?

Response bias (or criterion) contamination is insidious in studies of consciousness: that observers report they do not see a stimulus may not mean they have absolutely no subjective experience; they may be giving such reports in relative terms in the context of other stimuli. Bias-free signal detection theoretic measures provide an excellent method for avoiding response bias confounds, and many...

Response Bias in Computerised Tests

Choosing a response format is a problem when designing computerised tests. Programmers often solve this problem by highlighting a response option and allowing the user to select this option or choose another by using the cursor keys. It is possible that such well-meaning attempts to make computers more userfriendly may heighten response style tendencies. The two experiments to be reported in th...
