Answer to Question 1

Answer: Reverse-scored items are meant to prevent the acquiescence response set which occurs when some people just go through and mark everything a 1 or a 5 (or whatever the scale goes up to). Reverse-scored items are items asked in the opposite direction from most of the questions. They force the test-taker to read each item and consider the response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Some people have a tendency to agree with everything, or rank everything a 1 or a 10; this is known as the acquiescence response set. Researchers dislike this because it looks like a person did not really consider each response but just quickly checked everything in the same column.
