Who agrees more? The role of age, education, and the ability to solve verbal analogies in acquiescence

Acquiescence as one of the response styles is the participant's tendency to shift answers to agreement rather than to disagreement regardless of the items' content. Acquiescence together with other response styles could be a serious threat to the results of research. It can be affected by several individual characteristics including cognitive abilities. We explored the relationship between the ability to solve verbal analogies, age, education, and acquiescence.
