Sažetak
The conditional reasoning tests seem to be a promising new approach to measuring important personality constructs. In order to collect personality data, conditional reasoning researchers do not rely on self-reports but analyze performance on a set of inductive reasoning tasks. The conditional reasoning scores were shown to predict various criteria over and above self-report personality measures, and seem unsusceptible to socially desirable responding (James & LeBreton, 2012). Even more interestingly, conditional reasoning researchers claim that these tests capture significant aspects of unconscious, implicit personality. In our study we wanted to elucidate the process of responding to the conditional reasoning measurers by combining test responses with eye-movement data collected using the eye-tracking methodology. We performed two within-subject designed studies where participants completed both conditional reasoning tests (for aggression in Study 1, and power motive in Study 2) and selfreport personality questionnaires under honesty and simulated personnel selection instructions. In addition to the test responses, we recorded the participants’ eye movements during responding in both situations. Our findings were consistent with the claim that conditional reasoning tests and self-report measures capture different psychological processes. On the one hand, while faking selfreport measures, in both studies participants gave more desirable responses and devoted less attention to the responding process, as indicated by their eyemovement data. On the other hand, the responses on the conditional reasoning measures were unchanged between honest responding and simulated selection situations, independent whether the test responses or eye-tracking data were used as the indicators of the response process.
