Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) are increasingly used for medical school selection. Scoring an SJT is more complicated than scoring a knowledge test, because there are no objectively correct answers. The scoring method of an SJT may influence the construct and concurrent validity and the adverse impact with respect to non-traditional students.…

Given the negative influence of motor difficulties on people's quality of life their early identification seems to be crucial and consequently the information provided by a sound assessment tool is of great importance. The aim of this study was to examine the suitability of the MOT 4-6 (Zimmer & Volkamer, 1987) for use with preschoolers in…

Wang, Wen-Chung; Chen, Hsueh-Chu – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2004
As item response theory (IRT) becomes popular in educational and psychological testing, there is a need of reporting IRT-based effect size measures. In this study, we show how the standardized mean difference can be generalized into such a measure. A disattenuation procedure based on the IRT test reliability is proposed to correct the attenuation…

Howell, Colleen J.; Howell, Ryan T.; Schwabe, Kurt A. – Social Indicators Research, 2006
Recent studies investigating need theory and the extent to which money can buy happiness have called for more research within culturally homogeneous samples from developing countries to explore this relationship.
