The Development and Pilot Testing of Criterion Rating Scales. GRE Board Professional Report GREB No. 73-1P.
Carlson, Alfred B.; And Others
Rating scales of the "scaled behavioral expectation" type were developed to measure the constructs of independence and initiative, conscientiousness, enthusiasm, critical facility, teaching skills, research and experimentation, communication, and persistence. The scales were used by faculty in three psychology departments, two chemistry departments, and one English department, who indicated the skills and behavior which were expected of graduate students in their department. The following data were also collected: faculty member's estimate of confidence for each rating; Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Aptitude and Advanced Test scores; amount of graduate work completed; and undergraduate and graduate grade point average. The scales were found to have only minimal reliability and rather high intercorrelations. Further research on the scales is necessary before they can be used with any confidence. The available data did not suggest any striking relationship between GRE scores and faculty ratings; thus, it is doubtful that such ratings would be useful as criteria in GRE validity studies.
