Download or read book Validity Generalization written by Kevin R. Murphy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the first wide-ranging critical review of validity generalization (VG)--a method that has dominated the field since the publication of Schmidt and Hunter's (1977) paper "Development of a General Solution to the Problem of Validity Generalization." This paper and the work that followed had a profound impact on the science and practice of applied psychology. The research suggests that fundamental relationships among tests and criteria, and the constructs they represent are simpler and more regular than they appear. Looking at the history of the VG model and its impact on personnel psychology, top scholars and leading researchers of the field review the accomplishments of the model, as well as the continuing controversies. Several chapters significantly extend the maximum likelihood estimation with existing models for meta analysis and VG. Reviewing 25 years of progress in the field, this volume shows how the model can be extended and applied to new problems and domains. This book will be important to researchers and graduate students in the areas of industrial organizational psychology and statistics.

Download or read book Meta analysis of the Predictive Validity of Personality Testing in Law Enforcement Employment Settings written by Jorge Gabriel Varela and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is standard practice among most major law enforcement agencies to employ the services of a mental health professional to screen job candidates. That is, clinicians are frequently asked to determine if a candidate is psychologically unfit for duty as a law enforcement officer. It is evident why an effort is made to identify unfit individuals. Law enforcement officers are entrusted with the responsibility of upholding the individual rights of members of our society and enforcing laws that have been enacted by our elected officials. Often, this work is done in an environment in which public opinion of the police subculture is low and where the demands and stress of police work may be unappreciated. To contribute to the body of knowledge pertaining to the psychological screening of law enforcement candidates, a meta-analytic review of the published and unpublished empirical literature was conducted. Data regarding the use of personality testing were found using computer accessed literature databases, search of relevant journals, and contact with known researchers. Data reported in primary research were converted to Pearson r or Multiple R coefficients, both of which served as common effect sizes for the current study. Using the techniques outlined by Hunter and Schmidt, Pearson correlations were corrected for measurement error, range restrictions and dichotomization. Findings based on multiple predictors (R) were adjusted for capitalization on chance (Ezekiel's formula). The moderating effects of several variables were examined, including type of performance criteria, study design, participant characteristics, and jurisdiction. File drawer analyses were conducted for several predictors to asses the stability of the current findings. Lastly, observed sample-weighted correlations were subjected to a utility analysis to determine the cost-effectiveness of personality screening in terms of prediction of absenteeism. Results of the current study indicate personality test data are related to law enforcement personnel job performance, although this relation is modest, at best. Prediction of job performance using multiple predictors proved superior to prediction based on single predictors. The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) emerged as the best predictor of law enforcement personnel performance, in comparison to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Inwald Personality Inventory (IPI). Results of file drawer analyses indicate a substantial number of negative outcomes are necessary to nullify the findings pertaining to all personality tests, as well as studies using the MMPI. Less confidence, however, was placed in findings using the CPI and IPI individually. The utility analysis revealed personality screening was not a cost effective predictor of absenteeism in the first year of employment, but was a cost effective predictor over a five-year period.
