Applicant reactions and faking in real-life personnel selection

2011

Honkaniemi, L., Tolvanen, A. & Feldt, T. (2011). Applicant reactions and faking in real-life personnel selection. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 52, 376–381. Faking may affect hiring decisions in personnel selection. All the antecedents of faking are still not known. The present study investigates the association between applicants’ reactions about the selection procedure and their tendency to fake. The subjects (N = 180) were real-life applicants for a fire and rescue personnel school. After completing the selection process, the applicants filled out a questionnaire about their test reactions (Chan, Schmitt, Sacco & DeSohon, 1998b) and a faking scale, the Balanced Inventory of Desirabl…

A new apparatus for the study of avoidance conditioning in fishes

1981

An apparatus for the study of avoidance conditioning in fishes is described. The chamber is cylindrical in shape, with shocking electrodes placed above and below the animals, and response is defined as swimming a predetermined distance in either direction along a circumferential path. This apparatus has several advantages over the conventional shuttlebox: (1)There is little constraint on the direction of swimming; (2) the magnitude of response (swimming distance) required for avoidance can easily be varied over a wide range; and (3) variation in the effectiveness of shock with the position of the animal relative to the position of the electrodes is minimized. Some sample data obtained in a …

Improved reliability estimates for the serial color-word test

1978

Starting from Lennart Sjoberg's serial scoring of the Color-Word Test and his critical review of the test, the possibilities of attaining better reliability estimates are briefly surveyed. As a simple step, the orthogonalization of the regression model is suggested. Ways of maximizing the reliability estimate are demonstrated. On the basis of 261 subjects from five differing subsamples, clinical and control groups, the reliability estimates of the oblique system of the orthogonalized system and of the maximum reliability solutions are compared empirically. The significance of the results for test theoretic evaluation of the Color-Word Test is discussed.

Construct Validity of Rizzo et al.'s (1970) Role Conflict and Ambiguity Scales: A Multisample Study

1998

La validite de construction des echelles de Rizzo, House, et Lirtzman (1970) a ete fortement critiquee ces dernieres annees. Les critiques portent sur la formulation des items qui constituent ces echelles, ce qui fait que l'interpretation des echelles depend totalement de la formulation des items. Ces critiques ont favorise l'emergence d'autres modeles factoriels. La duplication elargie de Kelloway et Barling (1990), l'analyse factorielle destinee a confirmer la validite des echelles de Rizzo et al. et une echelle de surcharge des roles avec des items formules a la fois affirmativement et negativement furent utilisees pour eprouver la validite de construction des echelles d'ambiguite et de …

Discriminant Validity of the Job-related Tension Scale

1993

L'Echelle de Tension Liee au Travail (JRTS) de Kahn et al. (1964) est l'une des echelles les plus usitees pour evaluer la tension professionnelle dans les etudes sur les correlats des conflits de roles et de l'ambiguite de role. Quelques auteurs ont suggere que cette echelle faisait appel aux concepts sous-jacents mesures par les echelles d'ambiguite et de conflits de roles (1970) de Rizzo, House, & Lirtzman (Jackson & Schuler, 1985). Dans cet article, la validite discriminante de la JRTS est mise factoriellement a l'epreuve
