Seeking unpublished papers using a marker variable

  • 1.  Seeking unpublished papers using a marker variable

    Colleagues,

    I would like to request your help in gathering unpublished papers you
    have authored which meet one or both of two simple criteria:

    1. The paper employed a marker variable approach (i.e., Lindell
    & Whitney's correlational marker technique or Williams and colleagues'
    CFA marker technique) for the purpose of identifying or controlling
    for CMV in substantive relationships.

    2. The paper includes one or more explicit measures of potential
    CMV causes (e.g., social desirability, affectivity, or response styles
    such as (dis)acquiescence, mid-point responding, or extreme
    responding) used explicitly for the purpose of identifying or
    controlling for CMV in substantive relationships.

    In both cases, we are specifically seeking papers that have not been
    published in a refereed journal. We thus hope to obtain papers that
    either have not been submitted or were rejected by a refereed journal.
    Research that was presented at a conference or dissertation work that
    was not submitted to a journal is likewise of interest.

    Thank you for your assistance,

    Laura Marler
