Some Questions about "Differential Validity: Ethnic Group as a Moderator in Predicting Job Performance"

Kirchner, Wayne K.

Personnel Psychology, 28, 3, 341-43, Aut 75

The purpose of this brief paper was not to question the basic findings of Fox and Lefkowitz (EJ 100 533) but simply to raise some questions about their study in terms of the data actually reported. Their original article presented evidence for differential validity between whites and Negroes from a test validation study of production-type jobs. (Author/RK)
