    Notes: This paper compares two job classification methods for showing the appropriateness of cognitive tests in settings that were not involved in supplying data for a validity generalization analysis. One approach was an elaborate quantitative procedure that involved a lengthy job inventory and a multivariate item analysis. This approach was shown to be highly successful when applied to the responses from 1179 job inventories collected in 54 petroleum-petrochemical plants from 30 different companies. The other procedure involved simple job classification judgments by supervisors and incumbents. This latter approach was shown to be as effective, but was much less time consuming and costly. Professional and legal implications of these findings are discussed.

    Notes: The situational specificity hypothesis of selection procedure validity makes two predictions. The first is that variation in observed validities across settings is caused by real differences in what constitutes job performance. Validity generalization studies to date have provided disconfirming evidence for this prediction by showing that the observed variation is due to statistical and measurement artifacts. The second prediction is that if the situation (i.e., the organization, the setting, the job, the test and the criterion) is held constant, then validity findings will not vary from study to study. This article tests this prediction empirically using data from a unique series of studies reported by Bender and Loveless (1958). The results are contrary to the situational specificity hypothesis and consistent with the hypothesis that variation in observed validities is due to statistical and measurement artifacts that are unrelated to situations and settings. It is concluded that both major predictions of the situational specificity hypothesis have now been empirically disconfirmed.

    Notes: This note examines two potential pitfalls in applying the Cleary or regression model of test fairness. The first lies in a misinterpretation of significance tests on intercept differences which can result when the researcher is unaware of the properties of analysis of covariance tests for intercept differences and relies on computer printouts of regression equations. The second lies in the dependence of some tests for intercept differences on predictor scaling. Once aware of them, the researcher can avoid both these pitfalls.

    Notes: This article describes and illustrates the adaptation of the linear-regression-based decision-theoretic equations used to estimate the dollar impact of valid selection procedures on workforce productivity to the evaluation of intervention programs designed to improve job performance. The appropriate equations are derived and explained, methods for estimating equation parameters are discussed, and the use of these equations is illustrated by means of a hypothetical example. It is concluded that in the future these methods and equations will allow psychologists to make more accurate assessments of the impact of intervention programs on workforce productivity than has heretofore been the case.

    Notes: This study examined the questions of whether employment and educational tests demonstrate either differential validity or test unfairness to Hispanic Americans relative to the majority group. Relevant data from 19 published and unpublished studies formed the basis of the review and analysis. Results for employment tests, based on a very large amount of data, indicated that differential validity occurs no more frequently than would be expected on the basis of chance plus the operation of various statistical artifacts. The frequencies of slope and intercept differences between Hispanic and majority regressions were also within the chance range. A similar pattern of results obtained for the more limited amount of data available on educational tests. Taken together, the results provide strong evidence that tests are neither differentially valid for, nor unfair to, Hispanics. These findings are consistent with the results of previous studies of test validity and fairness for blacks.

    Notes: As a result of rejection by personnel psychologists of the erroneous law of small numbers and of the adoption of correct inferential procedures, the future of criterion-related validity promises to be bright. Probable future developments include: (a) widespread appreciation of the low statistical power characteristic of small samples; (b) rejection of the traditional belief that validities are situationally specific; (c) widespread validity generalization based on new methods; (d) research demonstrations that rational estimates of validity are often superior in accuracy to empirical estimates; (e) widespread acceptance of research findings showing that single-group and differential validity by race are artifactual rather than substantive in origin and that test unfairness by race is a nonproblem; (f) increased application of decision-theoretic dollar utility analyses to selection programs; and (g) progress in the establishment of general principles and theories about trait-performance relations in the world of work.

    Description / Table of Contents: Azaborolinyl Complexes, X1). Synthesis and Properties of (1-tert-Butyl-2-methyl-η-1,2-azaborolinyl)carbonylmanganese and-molybdenum Complexes1-tert-Butyl-2-methyl-1,2-azaborolinyllithium (1) reacts with [CH3CN)3Mn(CO)3]PF6 to give (1-tert-butyl-2-methyl-η-1,2-azaborolinyl)tricarbonylmanganese (2). Neutral 1-tert-butyl-2-methyl-1,2-azaboroline (3) and Mo(CO)6 form π-ally(1-tert-butyl-2-methyl-η-1,2-azaborolinyl)-dicarbonylmolybdenum (4). The formation of the allyl group is due to the decomposition of an azaborolinyl ring under the reaction conditions. 2 and 4 are characterized by mass, IR, and NMR spectra. 4 could be investigated by X-ray analysis. Orthorhombic, space group Pbca, Z = 8, a = 1697.4(9), b = 1441.8(5), c = 1219.4(7) pm. The chirality of the azaborolinyl ring causes the formation of enantiomers which exist as a racemate in the crystal.
    Notes: 1-tert-Butyl-2-methyl-1,2-azaborolinyllithium (1) reagiert mit [(CH3CN)3Mn(CO)3]PF6 zum (1-tert-Butyl-2-methyl-η-1,2-azaborolinyl)tricarbonylmangan (2). Neutrales 1-tert-Butyl-2-methyl-1,2-azaborolin (3) und Mo(CO)6 bilden π-Allyl(1-tert-butyl-2-methyl-η-1,2-azaborolinyl)-dicarbonylmolybdän (4). Die Bildung der Allygruppe ist auf den Zerfall eines Azaborolin-Ringes unter den Reaktionsbedingungen zurückzuführen. 2 und 4 werden durch Massen-, IR- und NMR-Spektren charakterisiert. Von 4 konnte eine Röntgenstrukturanalyse durchgeführt werden: orthorhombisch, Raumgruppe Pbca, Z = 8, a = 1697.4(9), b = 1441.8(5), c = 1219.4(7) pm. Die Chiralität des Azaborolinyl-Ringes bedingt die Bildung von Enantiomeren, die im Kristall als Racemat vorliegen.
