Exam 8: Validity of Selection Procedures

Which type of expectancy chart is useful for estimating what will happen in the organization if various passing or cutoff scores are used for a selection measure?

Validation in selection refers to the process of discovering what and how well a se4lection procedure measures.

If the coefficient of determination is .64,

Small sample sizes make which type of validation strategy infeasible?

Terms such as intelligence, sociability and clerical ability are constructs.

A selection measure has content validity when it can be shown that its content representatively samples the content of the job for which the measure will be used.

a(n. _________________ is a table of numbers that shows the probability that a person with a particular predictor score will achieve a defined level of success.

Psychological fidelity occurs when the same WRCs required to perform the job successfully are also required on the predictor.

Utility analysis is used to:

Which of the following is the symbolic notation for a validity coefficient?

Job component validity incorporates a less detailed examination of the job than validity generalization.

Basically, what does linear regression determine?

Jobs that are in a state of transition are good choices for criterion-related validation studies.

As the validity coefficient approaches +1.00, there is _____ between scores on the predictor and the criterion.

It is common to find validity coefficients in which of the following ranges?

In Follow-up - Random Selection validity design, applicants are hired, then subsequently tested and predictor scores are correlated with criteria collected at a later time.

Upon which step do concurrent and predictive validation strategies differ?

Cross-validation is necessary because of which of the following problems associated with predictive accuracy?

Utility analysis can be used to translate the results of a validation study into terms that are important to and understandable by managers.

A validation study provides evidence for determining what inferences can be made from scores on a selection measure.
