Established through job analysis. Construct-related evidence of validity: Does the test measure what it says it measures? Validity generalization. 41CFR60-3 \u2013 Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures Slide 13 (10 minutes) With content-related evidence, there is sometimes a concern with whether a measurement procedure contains a fair sample of the range of situations it is supposed to represent. Content-related studies assess the degree to which the content of a selection method represents (or assesses) the requirements of the job and is assessed through job analysis. The process involves some level of subjectivity. Example: A knowledge-based test such as the CPA exam could be considered to have content validity for an accounting job. Construct-related evidence helps answer the question of whether a test measures what it says it measures or whether it measures a construct determined to be important for job success (or some other criteria). This involves having a good understanding of a trait (or construct) that a test measures. If the test is designed to measure spatial ability, does it measure spatial ability? One place to begin understanding whether the test measures what it is supposed to measure is to administer other tests that claim to measure the same thing. Test takers should score similarly on all the tests if they measure the same thing. Validity generalization: Most often, if a test has been purchased from a vendor, the vendor has already performed validity studies. The theory behind validity generalization is that if the test was valid in Company A in Industry 1, then it should be valid in Company B in Industry 1. If contemplating the purchase of a selection test, it is wise to request this validity evidence from the vendor before using the test in your organization. \u00a9SHRM 2009.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
