"Degree of redundancy between time, importance, and frequency task ratings": Correction

Abstract

Reports an error in the original article by L. Friedman ( Journal of Applied Psychology, 1990, Vol 75[6], 748–752). In Tables 2 and 3, as well as for Difference Score results in Table 1, "T," "T–F," and "I–F," scales should be changed, respectively, to "T–F," "I–F," and "T–I". Therefore, it is appropriate to conclude that relative-time-spent and frequency ratings, not relative time spent and importance of ratings, may be redundant. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1991-08786-001 .) Redundancy among relative-time-spent, importance, and frequency task rating scales was examined. Research and development managers ( N = 117) from 9 organizations completed a task inventory on all 3 scales. For both job-level and individual data, difference scores were small between time and importance task ratings but were much larger between other pairs of scales. Scale intercorrelations were low to moderate for individual data… (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
