REVISITING INTERVIEW–COGNITIVE ABILITY RELATIONSHIPS: ATTENDING TO SPECIFIC RANGE RESTRICTION MECHANISMS IN META‐ANALYSIS
通过更新研究样本、排除面试官可能知晓认知测试分数的样本,并关注特定范围限制机制,发现面试与认知能力的相关性低于以往元分析结果,这对面试的构念效度和增量效度有重要启示。
This study revisits the relationship between interviews and cognitive ability tests, finding lower magnitudes of correlation than have previous meta‐analyses; a finding that has implications for both the construct and incremental validity of the interview. Our lower estimates of this relationship than previous meta‐analyses were mainly due to (a) an updated set of studies, (b) exclusion of samples in which interviewers potentially had access to applicants' cognitive test scores, and (c) attention to specific range restriction mechanisms that allowed us to identify a sizable subset of studies for which range restriction could be accurately accounted. Moderator analysis results were similar to previous meta‐analyses, but magnitudes of correlation were generally lower than in previous meta‐analyses. Findings have implications for the construct and incremental validity of interviews, and meta‐analytic methodology in general.
