German term or phrase: Ankreuztendenz

This is about a therapy module for conflict resolution between couples:

Aufgrund individueller Erwartungen, Bewertungsmaßstäbe und Ankreuztendenzen könnte sich das Antwortverhalten zwischen den Paaren der ersten und den Paaren der zweiten Kurse voneinander unterschieden haben.

"A tendency to write X's in little boxes"? No, I don't think so!

Thanks in advance!

Grading comment

Thanks to you both! Since the two terms are (more or less) synonymous, I chose this one as having a more negative connotation, which fits well in my context.
