Differential Prediction: Understanding a Tool for Detecting Rating Bias in Performance Ratings
… ratings: the total association approach, the differential constructs approach and the direct effects approach. One purpose of this study was to examine how the direct effects approach, and more specifically differential prediction analysis, is more useful than the other two approaches in …

Differential Prediction of Medical School Selection Factors for Rural and Non-Rural Populations
Differential predictive validity in assessing academic performance in institutions of higher education has been assessed for a number of years. Historically, this body of research focused on gender and ethnicity. This study extends that research to geographic region (e.g., rural and non-rural …

Assessing student success: Predictive validity of the ACT science subscore
… The goal of this study was to understand whether differential prediction existed in the ACT science subscore and the extent to which this index was differentially valid for individuals of various demographic subgroups regarding their performance in introductory science courses. Differential …

An empirical examination of alternative measures of job performance
… of selection research: the understanding and prediction of job performance. Two areas of research regarding criterion construct validity are examined and a research model is developed in an attempt to integrate this literature. This research model formalizes suggestions made by James (1973) …

New onset, recurrence, and persistence of alcohol dependence criteria : maturing out at the symptom level
… informative, these studies have not investigated differential prediction by age. The current study used longitudinal data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) to decompose the prevalence of each AD criterion at wave 2 as a function of new onset, …
