Additional question formats for minimizing 'yea-saying' responses are suggested.
In the latter group we can expect more yea-saying and inconsistent answers than in the former.
Of the yeas, 95 per cent relied on their own statements and 5 per cent on printed material.
If we had extreme yea-saying, everyone would have said yes and there would be no explanatory power of our independent variables.
We believe this result may be due to excessive yea saying at high bid amounts in the dichotomous choice question formats.
We can rule out extreme yea-saying since we have 50 per cent who say no to the start bid and these are not random.
This combined with the inconsistent answers would indicate yea-saying.
This has been attributed to yea saying in the dichotomous choice question format.
