Forced-choice (FC) personality assessments have shown potential in mitigating the effects of faking. Yet despite increased attention and usage, there exist gaps in understanding the psychometric properties of FC assessments, and particularly when compared to traditional single-stimulus (SS) measures. The present study conducted a series of meta-analyses comparing the psychometric properties of FC and SS assessments after placing them on an equal playing field-by restricting to only studies that examined matched assessments of each format, and thus, avoiding the extraneous confound of using comparisons from different contexts (Sackett, 2021). Matched FC and SS assessments were compared in terms of criterion-related validity and susceptibility to faking in terms of mean shifts and validity attenuation. Additionally, the correlation between FC and SS scores was examined to help establish construct validity evidence. Results showed that matched FC and SS scores exhibit strong correlations with one another (ρ = .69), though correlations weakened when the FC measure was faked (ρ = .59) versus when both measures were taken honestly (ρ = .73). Average scores increased from honest to faked samples for both FC (d = .41) and SS scores (d = .75), though the effect was more pronounced for SS measures and with larger effects for context-desirable traits (FC d = .61, SS d = .99). Criterion-related validity was similar between matched FC and SS measures overall. However, when considering validity in faking contexts, FC scores exhibited greater validity than SS measures. Thus, although FC measures are not completely immune to faking, they exhibit meaningful benefits over SS measures in contexts of faking. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

在公平竞争环境中比较强迫选择和单刺激人格得分：心理测量特性和造假敏感性的荟萃分析。

强迫选择（FC）人格评估已显示出减轻造假影响的潜力。然而，尽管人们越来越关注和使用 FC 评估的心理测量特性，但在理解 FC 评估的心理测量特性方面仍存在差距，特别是与传统的单刺激 (SS) 测量相比。本研究进行了一系列荟萃分析，比较了 FC 和 SS 评估的心理测量特性，并将它们置于平等的竞争环境中，方法是仅限于检查每种格式的匹配评估的研究，从而避免使用来自不同背景的比较（Sackett，2021）。匹配的 FC 和 SS 评估在标准相关有效性和均值漂移和有效性衰减方面对造假的敏感性方面进行了比较。此外，还检查了 FC 和 SS 分数之间的相关性，以帮助建立有效性证据。结果显示，匹配的 FC 和 SS 分数彼此表现出很强的相关性 (ρ = .69)，但与诚实地采取两种测量方法 (ρ = .73) 相比，伪造 FC 测量值 (ρ = .59) 时相关性会减弱。FC (d = .41) 和 SS 分数 (d = .75) 的平均分数从诚实样本增加到伪造样本，尽管 SS 测量的效果更为明显，并且对背景所需特征的影响更大 (FC d = .75)。 61，SS d = .99）。总体而言，匹配的 FC 和 SS 测量之间的标准相关效度相似。然而，当考虑伪造环境中的有效性时，FC 分数表现出比 SS 测量更高的有效性。因此，尽管 FC 措施并不能完全避免造假，但在造假的情况下，它们比 SS 措施表现出更有意义的优势。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
