Abstract

Accumulating evidence indicates weak correlations between self-report and behavioral measures of the same construct. We suggest these weak correlations result from poor reliability of many behavioral measures and distinct response processes involved in the two measurement types. We also describe how researchers can benefit from appropriate use of these measures
