▼ The present study compared the performance of machine learning classification models against logistic regression in the context of predicting training attrition from the Delayed Enlistment Program in the United States Marine Corps (UMSC) with scores from the Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS). The base-rate of attrition was low which made the model training process difficult, but the random-forest model outperformed logistic regression in predicting cases of attrition in a stratified 50% attrition sample.

▼ A recently zeitgeist, affective revolution (Barsade, Brief, & Spataro, 2003), shed lights on the importance of affective components of human nature. In the field of Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology, emotional intelligence (EI) was found to be a crucial predictor for core criteria in I/O psychology such as job performance, leadership, and health outcomes beyond cognitive ability and personality. The use of EI measures in various corporate settings (e.g. selection, promotion, training, and etc.) has also increased. However, the psychometric properties of EI measures have not been fully investigated based on the theoretical backgrounds (i.e., ability or trait/mixed) and test formats (i.e., self-report and performance measure). By investigating item parameters and model fits using item response theory (IRT), we found that EI measures constructed from different theoretical backgrounds resulted in different response processes. Specifically, dominance model fit self-report ability EI scale (WLEIS) and subscales better, whereas both dominance and ideal point models fit self-report trait EI scale (TEIQue) and subscales. Interestingly, a performance ability EI scale showed good model fits for both models. Our findings suggest the nature of EI construct should be considered in the process of scale development and divergent EI theories should be acknowledged to achieve a comprehensive framework in the field.

▼ There has been much debate about the appropriate level of specificity at which to measure personality, but no consensus has been reached regarding the usefulness of facet-level Emotional Stability in predicting job performance. Research in this area has been impeded by the lack of an agreed upon facet structure for Emotional Stability. In the current article, the authors used a three facet-structure for Emotional Stability (Well-Being, No Anxiety, and Even Temperedness) to conduct a series of meta-analyses to determine if facet-level Emotional Stability is useful in predicting different types of job performance (overall performance, task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behavior (CWB)). It was found that facet-level Emotional Stability explained additional variance beyond global Emotional Stability for task performance and CWB. The moderating effects of job complexity were also examined.

▼ Many self-report inventories in social/personality psychology are developed and scored using dominance-based assumptions. Specifically, it is assumed that the relationship between item endorsement and the latent trait is monotonically increasing. It is possible, however, that the item response process for these inventories actually follows an ideal-point process in which respondents seek to endorse items that best describe them, leading to non-monotonic relations between item responses and latent traits. This study examined whether the item response process underlying the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R; Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000) – a commonly used self-report measure of adult attachment styles – is best understood as a dominance or ideal-point process. The authors compared the fits of alternative models in a sample of 1,293 adults. Results showed that the ideal point model provided a good account of the response process, and provided better interpretability for the full trait continuum. Importantly, people who were the most insecure were the most likely to be scored differently under these two item response models. I confirmed this finding in a simulation study: When data were generated from an ideal-point process, scores computed using dominance model assumptions led to striking mismeasurements of attachment insecurity.

▼ Vocational interest researchers have long held that individuals will be satisfied when their interests match the characteristics of their work environment. Yet, meta-analyses have found little relationship between interest fit and overall job satisfaction. Notably, studies underlying past meta-analyses suffered from a common limitation—they rarely accounted for differences between unique forms of misfit, environmental excess and deficiency. Accounting for this limitation, I extend theories of need fulfillment and complementary fit using RIASEC interests, to suggest the fit – job satisfaction relationship is asymmetric: job satisfaction is higher when environments exceed individuals’ preferences for certain types of work (excess) than when environments fail to meet them (deficiency). I used polynomial regression and response surface methodology (including an extension for non-commensurate measures) to evaluate misfit asymmetry. Across three large-sample studies, I examined person-vocation and person-job fit using multiple environmental interest measures (incumbent average ratings, expert-ratings, and self-ratings). Results suggest misfit asymmetry exists across RIASEC interests, but the form of asymmetry is different for different interests. Across the studies, Investigative, Artistic, and female’s Realistic interests generally followed my asymmetry hypothesis—job satisfaction was higher for excess than deficiency (i.e., job satisfaction was higher when environmental interest ‘supplies’ exceeded employee interest ‘needs’). Unexpectedly, for Enterprising, Conventional, and male’s Realistic interests the opposite form of asymmetry emerged—job satisfaction was higher for deficiency than for excess (i.e., job satisfaction was higher when environmental interest ‘supplies’ failed to meet employee interest ‘needs’). Implications for fit theory, career counseling, and employment selection are discussed.

▼ Cognitive diagnostic modeling has become an important field of psychometric
research. The models are special because they provide examinees with diagnostic information regarding whether or not they have mastered individual skills in certain area. They provide as meaningful sources of information for examinees to understand their learning status and the criteria that will be used to evaluate their performance. Furthermore, in a school context, they enable teachers to know the strengths and weaknesses of their students and thus help them to select and structure teaching materials. Cognitive diagnosis models help administrators support their decision-making concerning learning and teaching objectives and arrangements. Despite their obvious advantages, researchers and practitioners face three fundamental hurdles in the implementation of cognitive diagnosis models. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide the solutions to these problems: the estimation of the Q-Matrix, the estimation of model parameters, and the assessment of model-fit.

▼ Prior research shows that both cognitive ability (Schmidt & Hunter, 1998) and personality measures (Poropat, 2009; Hough & Furnham, 2003) are valid predictors of job performance. The dynamic nature of the relationships between cognitive ability and personality measures with performance over time spent on the job is less understood and thus this paper explores their relationships. Although there is much research to suggest that the predictive relationship between cognitive ability and performance decreases over years of tenure (e.g., Hulin, Henry, & Noon, 1990), other research suggests that the relationship between cognitive ability and performance will increase over time (Kolz, McFarland, & Silverman, 1988). In regard to personality, this study provides a critical test of two competing theories. The first position holds that the validity of personality degrades over time. Support for this position comes from the “ubiquitous” nature of the simplex pattern in individual differences (Humphreys, 1985). It follows that personality validities should perform like cognitive ability in this respect, and thus decline over time. In contrast to this viewpoint, the alternative position contends that the predictive relationship between personality variables and performance increases over time, with the correlation becoming larger in magnitude and more positive in direction over years of tenure. The results of this study support the latter position; personality validities predicted long term performance outcomes.

▼ In continuously administered employment tests, test security may be compromised by examinees revealing test items to future test candidates. Unlike academic testing, employee selection tests generally have longer test windows and are less likely to implement new test items or have multiple parallel forms for the sake of test security. Therefore, it is important to study whether test takers can benefit from item sharing, and whether integrity and personality inventories can explain such behaviors. Results showed that casual item sharing increased test scores relative to the control group, with small to moderate effect sizes. Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability were the best predictors, with conscientiousness more influential on numerical reasoning and Emotional Stability on verbal reasoning.

▼ I reviewed the recently developed limited-information model fit statistics by Maydeu-Olivares and colleagues (e.g., Maydeu-Olivares & Joe, 2005; Maydeu-Olivares & Liu, 2012; Liu & Maydeu-Olivares, 2014) and conducted a simulation study to explore the properties of these new statistics under conditions often seen in practice. The results showed that the overall and piecewise fit statistics were to some extent sensitive to misfit caused by multidimensionality, although the limited-information fit statistics tended to flag more item pairs as misfit than the heuristic fit statistics. I also applied the fit statistics to three AP® exams, one personality inventory, and a rating scale used in organizational settings. Although a unidimensional IRT model was expected to fit the Physics B Exam better than the English Literature Exam, the average piecewise fit statistics showed no such difference. The fit statistics also suggested that a more advanced IRT model should be fitted to the self-rated personality inventory. Finally, the fit statistics seemed to be effective in detecting misfit caused by data skewness.

▼ Forced-choice (FC) is a popular format for developing noncognitive individual differences measures, where individuals are forced to choose one or multiple statements out of several options. FC measures have been proposed as a valuable approach to reduce score inflation in high-stakes assessments, but their effectiveness has not yet been examined in a meta-analysis. In my dissertation, I conducted two studies to examine the fakability of forced-choice personality and vocational interest measures. In the first study, I conducted a meta-analysis of studies comparing FC personality measures between low-stakes and high-stakes situations. Results suggested that the overall score inflation effect size for FC personality measures is 0.05, which is much lower than the effect size for single-statement measures. The score inflation effect size was also found to vary across FC scale characteristics, study design factors, and personality facets. Specifically, a faking resistant FC scale should be constructed in a multidimensional PICK format, with statements balanced in social desirability and responses scored in a normative approach. Personality facets of high relevance to the target were found to exhibit larger inflation than facets of low relevance to the target job. In the second study, I conducted an induced faking study to examine the fakability of vocational interest measures and whether or not the FC format reduced the faking effect. With a sample of 1,559 respondents, I found that respondents consistently inflated the interest domain that matched the target job, and that the inflation led to a decreased level of criterion-related validity of interest-job fit. Multidimensional FC scales exhibited a smaller inflation effect on non-matched domains, but not on matched domains, than single-statement scales. However, the FC format did not reduce the level of criterion-related validity attenuation found in single-statement measures.

▼ This study directly addresses important psychometric issues concerning emotional intelligence situational judgment tests (EI SJTs), including nonsensical dimensionality results, ambiguous facet constructs, and low Cronbach’s alpha, and then introduces an alternative methodology, cognitive diagnostic modeling (CDM), which seems to provide a better framework for the item level multidimensionality of these measures. This dissertation is the first study investigating the multidimensional nature of SJTs assessing EI using the CDM approach. Two ultimate purposes of this study include better understanding of the EI construct and advancing the psychometric analysis of EI measures assessed with the SJT format. The results of this study found that there are five dimensions underlying an SJT measuring emotion understanding (STEU) and they tend to have noncompensatory relationships. An SJTs measuring emotion management (STEM) showed four strategies required to perform well on the test, which interact in a compensatory manner. As hypothesized, the G-DINA (generalized deterministic inputs, noisy “and” gate) model best reproduced the SJT data among the other reduced models due to its statistical generality. However, a higher order structure of EI was not found in the CDM analysis. Among other commonly used methodologies, the CDM approach fully reflected the theoretical framework of EI and provided finer-grained information on the test and examines, which can be reflected in better feedback to assessees.

▼ Evaluating measurement equivalence is a necessary first step before comparisons can be made across groups or over time. As a result, techniques for evaluating equivalence have received much attention in the literature. Given the many benefits of these approaches, measurement equivalence is most appropriately assessed using item response theory (IRT) or confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) techniques. For both methods, the identification of biased items typically involves statistical significance tests based on the chi-square distribution or empirically derived rules of thumb for determining nonequivalence. However, because of the disadvantages of these criteria, it may be informative to use effect size estimates to judge the magnitude of the observed effects as well. As such, the present work proposed the development and evaluation of effect size measures for CFA and IRT studies of measurement equivalence. First, simulation research was used to illustrate the advantages of effect size measures and to develop guidelines for interpreting the magnitude of an effect. Next, these indices were used to evaluate nonequivalence in both cognitive and noncognitive data. In sum, the results show the benefits of evaluating the effect size of DIF in addition to assessing its statistical significance.

▼ The current study assessed a classification of sexual offenders from combinations of crime scene evidence and case data. It sought to contribute a unique perspective to the sexual offender typology literature by utilizing data obtained from the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) database—a nationally populated violent crime database maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Use of ViCAP data allowed for information to be obtained about sexual offenders who were not necessarily in mental health treatment programs and/or criminal custody, thereby enabling the examination of offenders that may not have been investigated in previous research. The present study also sought to expand upon previous typology literature by focusing on offender crime scene behaviors rather than offender motive since law enforcement often needs to begin their approach to a case investigation and offender identification and apprehension based on what is viewed at a crime scene. Data collected from the ViCAP database were analyzed to explore the heterogeneity of 4,476 sexually violent adult males who offended against adult females. The following domains were chosen as initial variables of interest: 1) use of potentially deadly force, 2) offender approach (i.e., blitz, con, and surprise), 3) use of restraints, 4) infliction of unusual assault/trauma, 5) type of sexual activity, 6) major trauma location, and 7) use of a weapon. After considering univariate entropy results for the initial variables, use of restraints, certain types of sexual activity, and use of a weapon were eliminated from the analyses based on low scores. Seven offender groups were identified through use of latent class analysis (LCA) on the remaining variables. Results indicated that offender approach is an important differentiating variable for offenders, particularly among those who did not exhibit sadistic offense behaviors. In addition, major trauma location was found to be important in differentiating between two groups of offenders who exhibited sadistic assault characteristics, with one sadistic group concentrating its trauma to sexual regions of the body while the other displayed high probabilities of trauma infliction on all areas of the body. The current study expands upon previous typology research by analyzing sexually violent offenders who were not necessarily in mental health treatment programs or criminal custody based on their crime scene behaviors separate from offender motivation. It provides a framework which future research can use to examine combinations of objective crime scene behaviors, self-reported offender motivations and fantasies, and offender psychopathology and personality in order to present a comprehensive approach that is useful to both law enforcement and mental health professionals.

▼ To reduce adverse impact potential and improve diversity outcomes from personnel selection, one promising technique is De Corte, Lievens, and Sackett’s (2007) Pareto-optimal weighting strategy. De Corte et al.’s strategy has been demonstrated on: (a) a composite of cognitive and noncognitive (e.g., personality) tests (De Corte, Lievens, & Sackett, 2008), and (b) a composite of specific cognitive ability subtests (Wee, Newman, & Joseph, 2014). Both studies illustrated how Pareto-optimal weighting (in contrast to unit weighting) could lead to substantial improvement in diversity outcomes (i.e., diversity improvement), sometimes more than doubling the number of job offers for minority applicants without changing the job performance outcome in personnel selection. The current dissertation investigates topics related to a key limitation of the technique—the possibility of shrinkage, especially diversity shrinkage, in the Pareto-optimal solutions. The dissertation consists of three studies. Study 1 attempts to study diversity shrinkage and job performance validity shrinkage using Monte-Carlo simulation. Using Monte Carlo simulation, sample size and predictor combinations are varied and cross-validated Pareto-optimal solutions are obtained. Study 2 derives approximate mathematical formulae to directly correct for job performance validity shrinkage and diversity shrinkage when using Pareto-optimal weights. These shrinkage formulae for Pareto-optimal weighting are evaluated using simulation. Finally, Study 3 attempts to develop a Pareto-optimal weighting algorithm that achieves both optimization and regularization (similar to ridge regression, LASSO regression, or elastic nets; in the context of Pareto-optimal weighting with two criteria). An R package is developed to estimate Pareto-optimal solutions in personnel selection (i.e., ParetoR package), which includes: (a) De Corte et al.’s (2007) Pareto-optimization method (i.e., based on the NBI algorithm; used in Study 1), (b) Pareto-optimal shrinkage formula corrections (i.e., as introduced in Study 2), and (c) a regularized Pareto-optimal method (i.e., as introduced in Study 3). In sum, the current dissertation aims to contribute to the field of diversity selection by investigating job performance validity shrinkage and diversity shrinkage under the Pareto-optimization method to simultaneously optimize both the job performance and diversity of new hires.

▼ Past empirical studies relating Narcissism to leadership have offered mixed results. The present study meta-analytically integrates prior research findings to make four contributions to theory on Narcissism and leadership, by: (a) distinguishing between leadership emergence and leadership effectiveness, to reveal that Narcissism displays a positive relationship with leadership emergence, but no relationship with leadership effectiveness, (b) showing Narcissism’s positive effect on leadership emergence can be explained by leader Extraversion, (c) demonstrating that self-reported leadership effectiveness ratings are positively related to Narcissism, whereas observer-reported leadership effectiveness ratings (e.g., supervisor-report, subordinate-report, and peer-report) are not related to Narcissism, and (d) illustrating that the nil linear relationship between Narcissism and leadership effectiveness masks an underlying curvilinear trend, advancing the idea that there exists an optimal, mid-range level of leader Narcissism.

▼ Research on adverse impact (i.e., differential hiring/selection rates between minority and majority groups in employment settings) has traditionally focused on aspects of the selection systems themselves (e.g., cognitive testing, personality measurement). In contrast, by using a supply-side perspective the current research proposes to incorporate vocational interests into the study of adverse impact, to help explain how people end up applying for jobs in the first place. In order to understand how vocational interests influence adverse impact, it is necessary to determine if Blacks and Whites differ in the types of jobs they are interested in, and whether people who are interested in certain kinds of jobs have different levels of cognitive ability. In Study 1, differences between African Americans and Caucasian Americans on vocational interests were estimated via meta-analysis. It was found that Whites have stronger realistic, investigative, and artistic interests, while African Americans have stronger social interests. Various moderators of these relationships were investigated as well. In Study 2, the relationships between cognitive ability and vocational interests were meta-analyzed. Cognitive ability was found to have strong positive correlations with investigative, artistic, and social interests. Finally, in Study 3, I constructed a combined meta-analytic correlation matrix of race, vocational interests, cognitive ability, and conscientiousness, and then used mathematical formulae to assess the role of applicant vocational interests in determining subgroup differences in selection predictors under various application ratios and job types. These findings have implications for how adverse impact might differ systematically across various occupations and jobs, due to race differences in vocational interests.

▼ The body of literature surrounding emotional labor, defined as service employees??? effort to manage their emotions to meet organizational goals (Hochschild, 1983; Morris & Feldman, 1996), exhibits a severe lack of studies examining intercultural service encounters (i.e., service episodes in which a provider from culture A delivers a service to a customer from culture B; Stauss & Mang, 1999). This dissertation posits an intrapersonal model of emotional labor in intercultural service encounters. Central to this model is the construct of cultural competence (Earley & Ang, 2003), which is defined as the ability to adapt effectively and flexibly in culturally diverse settings. Using experience sampling methodology with a hospitality industry sample, I found that cultural competence was associated with deep acting and performance. Openness to experience predicted cultural competence through active seeking of multicultural experience (i.e., multicultural personality). Implications for the selection (based on openness) and training (for deep acting and cultural competence) of service providers in an increasingly globalized service industry are discussed.

▼ I investigate the stability of job satisfaction under the hypothesis that stability increases with employee age and work experience. This idea is tested via both meta-analytic evidence and a 15-year longitudinal data set with four waves of observation. The target phenomenon—i.e., the increase in job satisfaction stability across time—is specified as a moderator effect of age or tenure on the relationship between job satisfaction at time t and job satisfaction at time t + 1. Results indicate that job satisfaction stability increases with age and tenure at both the between-persons and within-persons levels of analysis. At the between-persons level of analysis, rank-order correlations for job satisfaction increase with age and job tenure in linear and nonlinear patterns, based on meta-analysis (Study 1). At the within-persons level of analysis, results suggest that the intra-individual lagged effect of early job satisfaction on later job satisfaction also increases with age and tenure (Study 2). I further show additional moderators of job satisfaction stability, including time lag, job change, and organization change.

▼ This thesis focuses on prediction in the social sciences. We begin by discussing the “clinical efficiency” of prediction methods as defined by Meehl and Rosen (1955), and present three equivalent conditions for assessing clinical efficiency: (1) a probabilistic inequality from Meehl and Rosen; (2) an equivalent inequality given by Dawes (1962); and (3) a more flexible and easily computed inequality that we refer to as the Bokhari-Hubert condition. The misuse of the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) is discussed, particularly when base rates are low. The biases associated with the AUC are examined with a recommendation that the positive and negative predictive values deserve more emphasis than typically provided in the literature. A thorough review is given for cross-validation, an important but often ignored evaluation strategy in developing predictive models. The bias-variance trade-off in prediction is explained, and several shrinkage estimators are examined. To facilitate our discussion, illustrative examples using predictive methods in criminology are provided and several are extensively examined. A detailed history of predicting dangerous and violent behavior is also given. As a final conclusion, great caution should be exercised when predicting outcomes with serious social justice consequences.

▼ The present dissertation examined the incremental validity of vocational interests beyond cognitive ability and personality for predicting academic achievement and career success. Analysis of a national longitudinal survey, Project TALENT (Wise, McLaughlin, & Steel, 1979), showed that interests were the most influential
contributor to income, even within occupational groups and after controlling for occupational prestige. Interests were also found to be powerful predictors of college grades, college persistence, degree attainment, and occupational prestige. The effects of interest congruence were examined using polynomial regression and response surface methodology (Edwards, 2002). In most cases, interest congruence was positively associated with academic achievement and career success. Interest congruence in Science was particularly important for better college grades, great likelihood of persistence, and a higher income. Lastly, a moderated mediation model for career success was developed and tested. Number of children had negative effects on income and occupational prestige, for women in particular. Interests mediated the effect of gender on career success and were found to be fundamental channels through which gender operates and influences career outcomes. Degree attainment mediated the effects of interests, ability, and personality on career success and was an essential pathway for individuals to attain prestigious occupations. Results from the present dissertation have implications for the research on person-environment fit, measurement of individual differences, personnel selection, and provide insight for the debate on the causes of differential career attainment for men and women.

▼ In an attempt to better understand the causes of adverse impact, Cottrell, Newman, and Roisman (2015) have recently introduced a theoretical model called the 3-Step Model of Adverse Impact. The 3-Step Model provides a parsimonious developmental explanation for the origin of the Black-White cognitive test score gap, in which race relates to maternal advantage factors, which in turn relate to parenting factors, which in turn relate to cognitive test scores. One potential limitation of Cottrell et al.’s model, which is common in empirical tests of mediation models, is that the parameter estimates are based upon a single primary sample. To extend the applicability of the 3-Step model, I replicate the 3-Step Model of Adverse Impact (i.e., a mediation model) using Hunter and Schmidt (2004) meta-analytic methods, by conducting a research synthesis of the correlations involved in the 3-Step Model. This meta-analytic examination of the 3-Step Model is a rigorous empirical test to see which parts of the model still hold when using meta-analytic average population estimates across a diverse variety of samples. Results suggest that many of the parameter estimates and correlations of the model are of similar size and direction as in the original Cottrell et al. (2015) model, but less of the gap is meta-analytically explained by the covariates in the 3-Step Model.

▼ Outlier detection has relevance in many modern day contexts, including health care, engineering, data processing and analysis, credit card fraud, monitoring computer and internet intrusions and wearable personal health sensors. Outlier detection once represented a single pre-processing step, completed prior to the analysis of data proper. Today it has importance in all stages of the data analysis pipeline, from initial processing to defining data points of interest, such as when a sensor detects an anomaly. Moreover, as data sets have grown to encompass millions and billions of observations and variables, it is imperative to have outlier detection methods capable of effectively and automatically winnowing through large amounts of data with few or no inputs from a data analyst. Many existing outlier detection methods are constrained in certain ways which might limit their utility and efficacy. For instance, it is not uncommon for outlier detection methods to require some knowledge about the data under study or require the analyst to specify information about the number of outliers in the data. Another possible constraint of many outlier detection methods is the use of the raw data. Sometimes outliers can readily be detected in the raw data; but sometimes not, in which case one can achieve greater sensitivity and accuracy from features derived from data. This study uses feature extraction on multivariate time series data and demonstrates the efficacy of a set of features and their potential for aggregation through the use of Voronoi diagrams. Voronoi diagrams are constructed from the data to create tessellations which satisfy certain geometric properties. The covariance based outlier detection is proposed and demonstrated to addresses both of these challenges. It utilizes covariance information in the data and its efficacy lies in its ability to take a set of features constructed from the data and determine which feature is best at detecting outliers. The method is shown to work effectively on time series data; but it is general and can be applied or extended to other types of data objects and data sets.

▼ Previous research on shame and guilt has tended to focus on their unique associations with other variables. It has become commonplace to eliminate the substantial shared variance with shame when examining guilt, and to eliminate shared variance with guilt when examining shame. What previous research has typically not done is to examine the variance shared by shame and guilt. In a series of three studies, we addressed this issue by employing bi-factor models to examine the general factor shared by shame and guilt, and its relationship to several important personality traits and two broad liability factors of psychopathology (i.e., externalizing and internalizing psychopathology). As hypothesized, the general factor shared by shame and guilt was strongly and positively associated with personality traits associated with moral emotions (empathy, agreeableness and conscientiousness), and strongly but inversely associated with both self-reported and informant-reported externalizing psychopathology. The general factor was also associated with self-consciousness, but not with self-criticism, vulnerable narcissism or neuroticism. The implications of these findings are discussed regarding the conceptualization of shame and guilt.

▼ Much of what is known about the stability of Vocational interests is from a between-person perspective (e.g., rank-order stability). This dissertation investigates the within-person variability of vocational interests. Three studies employ experience sampling methods to assess the daily fluctuations of RIASEC interests. These studies make three main contributions. First, I apply a whole trait perspective to understanding interests: interests can be stable at the between-person level yet vary at the within-person level. In so doing, I examine whether the within-person operationalization of interests affects the nomological relationship within interest domains (i.e., structural validity) and with personality traits of extraversion and openness. This analysis provides evidence that conceptualizing vocational interests as a density distribution is a viable and appropriate way of assessing a person’s interest. Second, G-theory is advanced as a better, more nuanced, and precise method of variance decomposition compared to other methods of variance decomposition. Beyond parsing variance into within- and between-person, G-theory estimates variability that arises due to differences in item selection and administration. Finally, I investigate a potentially better test of Holland’s (1997) congruence hypothesis. Rather than the current approach that matches individuals’ RIASEC activity preferences to their occupation (which consists of a heterogeneous mix of activities), I investigate the daily measurement of individuals’ RIASEC activity preferences matched to the daily work activity they actually do, an activity-interest congruence. Overall, results show that applying whole trait theory to vocational interests is an appropriate operationalization of interests that does not contradict what is currently known about interests at the between-person level. Rather, vocational interests exhibit non-trivial levels of within-person variability across all three studies. Results did not support the ESM test of the congruence hypothesis. Implications and future directions are discussed.

▼ Forced choice (FC) measures are gaining popularity as an alternative assessment format to single statement (SS) measures due to their potential in reducing the impact of various response styles and faking. However, a fundamental question remains to be answered: do FC and SS instruments measure the same underlying constructs? In addition, FC measures are theorized to be more cognitively challenging, so how would this feature influence respondents’ reactions to FC measures compared to SS? Two studies were designed to answer these questions. Study 1 results showed that FC measures scored by the Multi-unidimensional Pairwise Preference Model (MUPP) and SS measures scored with an ideal point model yielded similar factor structures and almost identical criterion-related validity across 12 criteria. Both formats also had similar pattern of marginal reliabilities and test-retest reliabilities. Study 1 findings were replicated in Study 2. In addition, we found strong evidence for convergent validity between the two formats. Though the FC format was perceived to be more difficult, respondents showed no differential preference and expressed similar level of emotional and cognitive reactions to the two formats.

▼ Following up on Murphy, Cronin, & Tam’s (2002) study, the dimensionality of the debate on general cognitive ability (GCA) and GCA testing was reexamined. First, a review of a recent literary debate on topics related to GCA was conducted. Then, a six-factor model of beliefs was hypothesized. One factor represented the belief in the primary importance of GCA among trait predictors of performance. Another reflected the view that the predictive validity of GCA is criterion-dependent. The third factor stood for the belief that there are significant cognitive alternatives to GCA. The fourth factor characterized the opinion that GCA tests are racially biased. The belief that GCA tests are socially fair was the fifth factor. The final factor represented the position that there are tradeoffs between fairness and predictive validity in the choice to use GCA tests. This model was tested empirically. It showed reasonable fit to appropriate survey data, though the independence of some of the factors may be questioned. While a broader “debate” over intelligence is seen as a competition between paradigms, a framework for the debate over GCA and GCA testing based on the six-factor model is recommended. To illustrate the utility of this framework in clarifying positions, it is applied to the scholarly debate on GCA which served as the initial literary review for this study. Argumentation methods which may sharpen future debate are also recommended.

▼ The importance of intermediate items has been overlooked for years ever since the prevalence of using dominance-based Likert scales in measuring personality and vocational interests. Rather, intermediate items were usually discarded in dominance scale constructions as they were believed to perform poorly in item discrimination (Chernyshenko, Stark,
Drasgow, & Roberts, 2007). The current study aims to recognize the importance of intermediate items by showing that they can be perfectly calibrated by the ideal point model. 355 college students were selected to answer a series of personality and vocational interest measures including self-developed intermediate items. Results showed that personality and vocational interest scales demonstrated satisfactory model fits to the ideal point model, but not to the dominance model. Intermediate items also provided more information than extreme items did for respondents with extreme latent traits. Among the four domains (Frequency, Average, Condition, and Transition, “FACT”) of constructing intermediate items, the Average domain was found to exhibit best performance in showing unfolding curves. The possibility of utilizing the results of this study to develop a guideline of writing intermediate items, as well as to construct computerized adaptive tests based on the ideal point model, was also discussed in the paper.

▼ Within the item response theory (IRT) framework, this study compared cross-culturally different approaches to the assessment of differential item functioning (DIF) in two personality tests of the Comprehensive Personality Scale (Wang, 2013). A dominance IRT model (SGRM) and an ideal point model (the GGUM) were applied within the NHST paradigm, due to the debate over which is the more appropriate model for personality research. Nye’s (2011) DIF effect size measure was also used in the current study to overcome the oversensitivity of NHST to large sample size. Participants from the U.S. (n = 861) and China (n = 1023) responded to two personality scales from the CPS: the Well-being scale, and the Curiosity scale. Results indicated that SGR was applicable for DIF assessment, but the NHST paradigm was so sensitive to large samples that even trivial DIF could be significant. GGUM failed to work in the DIF analyses due to ill-conditioned matrices. The DIF effect size measure compensated for the NHST method by providing the magnitude of DIF. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

▼ Using IRT and MACS approaches, we examined measurement equivalence of the Extraversion and Conscientious Scales of the Big Five Inventory (BFI) between the US and China, Australia and Spain. The results showed 1-4 items of each scale to have measurement nonequivalence in each pair of comparison, although the effect sizes were not large. The mean differences in Extraversion and Conscientious between the US and the three other countries were consistent with previous findings based on cultural similarity. The study showed the feasibility of administering a personality inventory in English to non-native speakers with English proficiency as an alternative to translation.

▼ Unrotated factor analyses of interest data have consistently yielded a general factor of interests, an overarching factor with uniformly high loadings across interest subscales and individual items. The theoretical significance of this general factor of interest is still debated. In this paper, we aim to discriminate between two dominant interpretations of the general factor of interest—as either a substantive factor with meaning in the field of personality and interest, or as a measurement artifact which should be disregarded. Across four independent samples, we evaluate these competing interpretations of the general factor. We compare the general factor with broad personality measures that represent a general propensity for ‘liking’ stimuli, as well as an index of acquiescent response styles. More specifically, we test the general factor against measures of dispositional attitudes, neutral objects satisfaction, and acquiescent responding. Our results support the idea that the general factor of interests can be explained more from the standpoint of a general dispositional attitude to respond favorably towards objects and activities, rather than an acquiescence response style or neutral objects satisfaction. The general factor of interests can thus be used to offer insight into an individuals’ personality and is worth reporting in interest assessment results.
