Abstract

The Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A) is an implicit assessment of Aggression. The CRT- A has predicted various counterproductive behaviors in the workplace above and beyond self-reported aggression assessment with US participants. In addition, Croatian participants also demonstrated cross-cultural generalizability. This study further investigated the measurement equivalence of the CRT-A on Korean participants. Factor analysis and Differential Item Functioning analysis with 432 US participants and 363 Korean participants demonstrated that the Korean version of the CRT-A is not equivalent. The results revealed that biases exist at the construct level and at the item level in the Korean version of the CRT-A.
