2. Criterion = the outcome as a result of the predictors used (A criterion is a measure
that could be used to determine the accuracy of a decision, slide 8)

Convergence & Discrimination
1. Convergence = measures of constructs that should and are related to each other
2. Discrimination = measures of constructs that shouldn’t and aren’t related to each other.
Self-esteem and Locus of control SHOULD NOT converge with each other (which is
shown) but with its own constructs (which is shown) – therefore, they support both
convergence and discrimination = CONSTRUCTS VALIDITY
Utility Analysis
Method where average job performance is known
Average Increase per Person=Mean Performance of SELECTED group−Mean Performance of E
Average MONETARY increase= Average increase per person׿ appointed applicants × years
Utility=Increase−Costs
Utility=Increase−Costs
Utility in Testing
1. In reality: not given Sy ∴ Sy = 0.40 x average salary (40% rule)
Z ‾ y s =Z ‾ xs × r xy
Utility=Increase−Costs
Regression Equation: Y’ = bx + m
b = std.dev(y)/[std.dev(x) x rxy]
m = b x mean(x) x mean(y)
