An empirical comparison of the results of five validity generalization procedures

Abstract

With data originally obtained by the 3rd author and colleagues (see record 1980-31533-001 ), comparative results are presented for the noninteractive, interactive, independent multiplicative and Taylor Series Approximations 1 and 2 validity generalization procedures when there is nonzero sampling error. Findings indicate that the 5 validity generalization procedures yielded similar estimates of the fully corrected mean and variance of true validity coefficients. It is concluded that the 5 validity generalization procedures will lead to the same general conclusions regarding the effectiveness of a predictor measure.
