Aptitude Test Score Validity: No Moderating Effect Due to Job Ability Requirement Differences.

Jones, Gwen E.; Ree, Malcolm James

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v58 n2 p284-94 Apr 1998

This study tested the specificity-generality hypothesis regarding moderation of aptitude test validity by job ability requirement differences using 24,482 Air Force enlistees in 37 jobs. Moderating effects due to job differences were not found, and job ability differences did not moderate the relationship between the amount of "g" measured by a test and its score validity. (SLD)
