Differential Prediction of College Grades by Gender and Ethnicity: A Replication Study.

Young, John W.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v54 n4 p1022-29 Win 1994

An investigation was conducted to determine whether differential predictive validity, as detected in previous studies, exists for a recent sample of 3,703 college students. Results confirmed that the phenomenon still exists. For women, but not minorities, the difference in predictive validity appears related to course selection. (SLD)
