Refining Situational Judgment Test Methods

چکیده
Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) assess knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. They present scenarios, which are based on real events, to be judged, understood, scaled, and interpreted by the examinee. These instruments have been used to evaluate cognitive theories and training programs, and to predict performance. This paper presents the argument that SJTs have potential to renew and reinvigorate many aspects of psychological measurement. We provide a framework to categorize the broad range of procedures and formats adopted for SJTs. The framework indicates that the psychometric range and power of SJTs might be extended by incorporating: (a) Theories and models of human cognition and performance to systematically specify the detail provided in the scenarios; (b) Likert and constructed response formats to maximize breadth of information collected for each scenario; and (c) Consensus-based scoring methods to evaluate knowledge and attitude domains associated with emerging applications.

Putting judging situations into situational judgment tests: evidence from intercultural multimedia SJTs.
Although the term situational judgment test (SJT) implies judging situations, existing SJTs focus more on judging the effectiveness of different response options (i.e., response judgment) and less on how people perceive and interpret situations (i.e., situational judgment). We expand the traditional SJT paradigm and propose that adding explicit assessments of situational judgment to SJTs will p...

متن کاملSituational Judgment Tests: A Review of Practice and Constructs Assessed
In this article, we seek to summarize current practice concerning situational judgment tests in personnel selection. We begin by describing the manner in which situational judgment tests are developed and examining the diverse ways in which situational items are presented and scored. We then offer speculation concerning constructs assessed by situational judgment tests as well as discuss the le...

This study used principles underlying item generation theory to posit competing perspectives about which features of situational judgment tests might enhance or impede consistent measurement across repeat test administrations. This led to 3 alternate-form development approaches (random assignment, incident isomorphism, and item isomorphism). The effects of these approaches on alternate-form con...
متن کاملValidity evidence for the situational judgment test paradigm in emotional intelligence measurement.
To date, various measurement approaches have been proposed to assess emotional intelligence (EI). Recently, two new EI tests have been developed based on the situational judgment test (SJT) paradigm: the Situational Test of Emotional Understanding (STEU) and the Situational Test of Emotion Management (STEM). Initial attempts have been made to examine the construct-related validity of these new ...
