Context effects in performance appraisal: A methodological critique and empirical study.
Abstract
The standard design used in research on assimilation and contrast effects in performance appraisal suffers from methodological flaws that preclude unambiguous interpretation of experimental results. The standard design is compared with two other designs that provide more appropriate tests of context effects. Analyses of the alternative designs revealed problems with the positive context manipulation, assimilation effects in the positive context, contrast effects in the negative context, and pretest effects.
