Specification of Scales in Biodata Form Development: Rational vs. Empirical and Global vs. Specific

摘要: Although empirical keying has been the most popular scoring strategy with biodata, researchers have increasingly argued that rational approaches are better for advancing theory. Higher validities and less faking keys, however, made many reluctant to abandon them. Research in personality field provided support notion biodata scales may be multi-faceted. Development of more specific was suggested as a technique creating closely approximate keys. Three different strategies (rational, internal, external/empirical) were used inventory use mechanical equipment franchise owners. The internal investigated within two samples at levels - very constructs global constructs. In addition, types criteria used, including an objective measure sales supervisory performance ratings. predictive item key. Strategies developing form using approach discussed.
