Dear Researchers,
I am working with Eric Spangenberg, David Sprott, and Berna Devezer on a meta-analysis of the “Question Behavior Effect” literature. In particular, we are meta-analyzing any empirical work that tests the effects of questioning on the future performance of the questioned behavior. While various terms have been used to describe this work since Sherman’s (1980) initial introduction of the effect, the majority of this research has been referred to in the literature as the “mere measurement effect” or the “self-prophecy effect.” A variety of newer papers have arguably examined the same topic without using these nomenclatures (e.g., research using satisfaction measures). In our meta-analysis, we want to include all available manuscripts reporting empirical QB effects, both published and unpublished. Appended below is an initial list of articles addressing or incorporating the QB effect in one manner or another (not all of which report new empirical findings, but are included for reference).
To help us in this process, I am writing today to ask you two things:
(1) Could you please take a moment and review the list below? I would appreciate if you could identify any published articles you feel relate to the QB effect that are missing from our list.
(2) Do you have any unpublished QB studies? If so, could you please share your findings with us (even null findings are of course appreciated for our purposes).
If you have any questions regarding our request, please don't hesitate to contact me or one of my colleagues. We appreciate any time and attention you might devote to the above requests.
Best regards,
Ioannis Kareklas, Ph.D.
