Validity Studies

                Submissions of studies investigating the validity of such selection techniques as interviews, assessment centers, biodata, ability tests, personality tests, and work samples are strongly encouraged. These studies will allow validation information to be shared with colleagues and provide data to be used for future meta-analyses.  Studies without significant results are as welcome as those with statistical significance. Validity studies should be 2-4 pages in length and follow the format shown in the two sample articles below.

Race and Gender Differences in Selection Tests

                To provide data for future meta-analyses, we encourage submission of articles investigating race or gender differences in scores on selection techniques.  Articles that show no sex or race differences are as welcome as those that show differences.  Adverse impact studies should be 2-4 pages in length and follow the format shown in the sample article below.
