This study examined how situational factors shape four common response styles - extreme responding, acquiescence, disacquiescence, and midpoint responding - using the Representative Indicators of Response Styles (RIRS) approach. Two manipulations were implemented: (a) stakes of the situation (low-stakes vs. high-stakes) and (b) item framing (self-referent vs. other-referent). Data were collected from a sample of adults from Serbia (N = 540) aged 18 to 86 (Mage = 38.25; SDage = 15.30) who completed 20 heterogeneous items under both situational conditions. Response style indices were calculated based on recoding procedures, and repeated-measures ANOVAs were used to test main and interaction effects. Results indicated that both acquiescence and extreme responding were significantly stronger under high-stakes instructions compared to low-stakes, though effect sizes were small, likely reflecting the simulated rather than real consequences of the manipulation. By contrast, item framing had a robust impact: self-referent items elicited greater acquiescent, extreme, and disacquiescent responding, whereas other-referent items produced higher midpoint responding. These findings align with self–other knowledge asymmetry, whereby individuals express greater confidence and certainty in judgments about themselves relative to others. Interaction effects of stakes and item framing were generally non-significant, except for disacquiescence, which was more prevalent in low-stakes contexts.
