Abstract

 Poster presentation given at the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference: Anaheim, CA.
   Program 
 
 Based on traditional gender role expectations, it is proposed that gender differences in workaholism may be contaminated by differences in how men and women respond to items. Using item response theory, this study shows that women are less likely to affirm some items, masking differences suggesting women are higher in workaholism than men.
