The Lazy or Dishonest Respondent: Detection and Prevention
Self-report measures are characterized as being susceptible to threats associated with deliberate dissimulation or response distortion (i.e., social desirability responding) and careless responding. Careless responding typically arises in low-stakes settings (e.g., participating in a study for course credit) where some respondents are not motivated to respond in a conscientious manner to the items. In contrast, in high-stakes assessments (e.g., p…
Feedback acceptance in developmental assessment centers: The role of feedback message, participant personality, and affective response to the feedback session
We investigated feedback acceptance by participants ( N = 141) in an operational developmental assessment center (AC). Consistent with predictions based on self‐enhancement theory and the Affective Infusion Model, results indicated that higher assessor ratings were associated with higher feedback acceptance, and this relationship was partially mediated by the participant's affective reaction to the feedback session. Participants' self‐ratings of …

Hispanic and African American Reactions to a Simulated Race-Based Affirmative Action Scenario
The present study investigated the affective responses of 169 Hispanic and 196 African American participants to a simulated selection decision involving race-based affirmative action. Type of implementation procedure and qualification of beneficiary were manipulated in the simulated scenario, and subjects'affective reactions, perceptions offairness and competence, and feelings of stigmatization were measured. Strong effects were obtainedfor the r…
The Five‐Factor Model, Conscientiousness, and Driving Accident Involvement
Personality researchers and theorists are approaching consensus on the basic structure and constructs of personality. Despite the apparent consensus on the emergent five‐factor model (Goldberg, 1992, 1993), less is known about external correlates of separate factors. This research examined the relations between Conscientiousness, one dimension of the model, and driving accident involvement. Using multiple measures in independent samples drawn fro…
The International Assignee: The Relative Importance of Factors Perceived to Contribute to Success
The present study sought to empirically identify what factors are important for international assignee perceived success along with their relative importance. Subjects were 338 international assignees from diverse countries (nationality) and organizations, assigned to diverse countries, and performing diverse jobs. Five factors were identified and in a descending order of importance, these were Family Situation, Flexibility/Adaptability, Job Know…
Race and Sex Differences in Reactions to a Simulated Selection Decision Involving Race-Based Affirmative Action
Affirmative action policies lead to social psychological costs for the intended beneficiaries in the form of negative reactions and reduced perceptions of competence. However, most of the research has involved affi rmative action based on sex rather than race and has compared males to females rather than Blacks to Whites. Two hundred and thirty-five (235) college students completed a scenario study involving reactions to having received afellowsh…
Choice of Software and Programs in Meta-Analysis Research: Does it Make a Difference
Along with the increased popularity of meta-analysis, a number of articles have questioned and highlighted the role that judgment calls play in the implementation and, ultimately, outcomes of studies that use this technique. In the absence of standardized data analyses packages, and coupled with the wide range of options available to meta-analysts, the current study investigated the effect of choice of data analysis programs on meta-analysis stud…
Development of a Short form for the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices Test
The Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices Test (APM) is a popular measure of higher order general cognitive ability (g). Its use in both basic research and applied settings is partially attributable to its apparent low level of culture loading. However, a major drawback curtailing more widespread use is its length; the APM is a 36-item power test with an administration time of 40-60 minutes. The present study reports on the development of a 12-item…
Conducting Meta-Analysis Using the Proc Means Procedure in Sas
The methodology for using the PROC MEANS procedure in SAS to perform the data computations called for by the Hunter and Schmidt approach to meta-analysis is presented. Using SAS for meta-analytic data analysis offers several potential advantages including ease of use, flexibility, and widespread availability. Specific procedures are presented for calculating summary statistics and then correcting these summary statistics for sampling error and ot…
A Confirmatory Factor Analytic Study Examining the Dimensionality of the Raven'S Advanced Progressive Matrices
The objective of the current study was to provide a direct comparison of two competing views of the underlying structure of the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM), a widely used test designed as a nonverbal measure of general cognitive ability (g). The first view postulates a two-factor model to explain the structure of the APM; and the second view, a single-factor model. The results of a confirmatory factor analysis suggest that a singl…
An Empirical Comparison of Cutoff Score Methods for Content-Related and Criterion-Related Validity Settings
The objective of this paper was to comparatively evaluate different methods for obtaining cutoff scores in content and criterion-related validity settings. Cutoff score methods were compared in reference to the predictor standard error of measurement, number of correct and incorrect classification decisions obtained with each cutoff score procedure, and overall actual criterion performance of individuals passing each cutoff score. Results indicat…
The Angoff Cutoff Score Method: The Impact of Frame-of-Reference Rater Training
One of the most preferred and widely used methods for generating cutoff scores in content-related validity situations is the Angoff procedure. This procedure, however, typically displays low inter-rater reliability. Very little is known about the accuracy of the cutoff scores. The present study compares the effect of two frame-of-reference rater training approaches on the reliability and accuracy of cutoff scores generated by the Angoff procedure…

An Analytical Survey of Population and Development in Bangladesh
This paper is titled an Analytical Survey. As a survey it sets out to collect and pull together what is know from the many studies and detailed aspects of population and development in Bangladesh. And as an analysis it sets out to make sense of a complex situation, to pick out the various economic, social, demographic and environmental forces that shape Bangladesh's present predicament and set the bounds for its future possibilities. \n\nTwo part…
