Turner, Joseph. "Do Questionnaires Tell the Truth?" CHANGE, 9. Jun 1977. (EJ160686)

An advantage of standardized questionnaires and machine techniques for scoring and reporting is the low cost, but the need to detect and prevent falsification raises fundamental questions about the validity of large-volume research.
