PSYC 3241 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Counterproductive Work Behavior, Convergent Validity, Face Validity
Document Summary
Predictor: any variable used to forecast a criterion. Reliability: the consistency, stability, or equivalence of a measure. Accuracy of measurement: construct validity single unitary concept. Continuous process of verifying the accuracy of inferences among concepts. Convergent validity- scores should correlate with other measures of concepts. Divergent validity- scores shouldn"t correlate with measure of other unrelated concepts (intelligence and eye color: criterion-related validity: how much a predictor relates to its criterion. Concurrent criterion-related validity: how well a predictor can predict a criterion at the same time. Predictive criterion-related validity: collect predictor info and use it to forecast criterion performance. Validity coefficient (. 3-. 4: content validity: degree to which a predictor covers a representative sample of the behavior being assessed. Similar type of validity - face validity. Measure construct directly or via a sample of behavior. Field note 1: what is intelligence? (p. 103) its all relative. Bennett-mechanical test: highly predictive of performance in manufacturing/ production jobs.
