Why Are Self-Report and Behavioral Measures Weakly Correlated?

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

Summary:Accumulating evidence indicates weak correlations between self-report and behavioral measures of the same construct.

We also describe how researchers can benefit from appropriate use of these measures.
