When writing items for a psychological test intended to measure a latent construct, which principle should be adhered to in order to minimize response biases such as social desirability and acquiescence?
1
Ensure that items are lengthy and complex to provide a thorough understanding of the construct being measured.
2
Include both positively and negatively worded items to balance the direction of item endorsement.
3
Use double-barreled items to test multiple aspects of the construct simultaneously, ensuring comprehensive assessment.
4
Write items with extreme language to ensure strong differentiation between high and low scorers.
