Reporting heterogeneity and the anchoring vignette method. Populations may differ in how they use subjective categories to describe pain (or other aspects of health), that is, they may demonstrate “reporting heterogeneity” (Bago D’Uva et al. 2011b; cf. King et al. 2004). Here, Population 1 uses systematically higher intercategory cutpoints (τs) than Population 2, while Population 3 shows a compression of cutpoints relative to the other groups. In this scenario, the three groups could have equal mean levels of pain, but nonetheless use different terms to refer to that level of impairment. By giving the same series of anchoring vignettes (here, “VIG 1” through “VIG 5,” marked with dotted lines) to all respondents, researchers can determine how different groups use subjective response categories. Here, the pain in vignette 2 would be rated as “moderate” by Population 1, “mild” by Population 2, and “none” by Population 3. More formally, researchers can estimate where different groups locate intercategory thresholds (here, τ1 – τ4), and adjust for such different thresholds in subsequent analyses, enabling unbiased group comparison. To facilitate later comparison with other health domains, this pain scale is depicted as going from extreme pain at the lower end to no pain at the higher end. Higher levels of a construct thus consistently represent better health
