SYNTHETIC VALIDITY AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE UNIFORM GUIDELINES VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS
介绍了合成效度方法，评估其是否符合《员工选拔程序统一指南》的验证要求，并推荐Primoff的J系数法，因其既能满足指南要求，又能在特定条件下估算传统效度系数。
The Uniform Guidelines for Employee Selection Procedures have served to create an urgent need for efficient validation methods that can be generalized to a class of occupations. The one method currently authorized for such a purpose by the Guidelines is synthetic validation. (The Guidelines erroneously describe the synthetic validity paradigm as construct validity.) Approaches to synthetic validity employed by Lawshe, Guion, McCormick, and Primoff are described. Their extent of conformance to the Guidelines validation requirements is noted. Primoff's J ‐Coefficient approach is recommended for two reasons; it meets the Guidelines requirements and under certain circumstances it permits the test user to estimate the traditional validity coefficient. An illustrated example of Primoff's method is presented.
