Although situational judgment tests have a long history in the psychological assessment literature and continue to be frequently used in employment contexts, there has been virtually no summarization of this literature. The purpose of this article is to review the history of such tests and present the results of a meta-analysis on criterion-related and construct validity. On the basis of 102 coefficients and 10,640 people, situational judgment tests showed useful levels of validity (rho = .34) that were generalizable. A review of 79 correlations between situational judgment tests and general cognitive ability involving 16,984 people indicated that situational judgment tests typically evidence relationships with cognitive ability (rho = .46). On the basis of the literature review and meta-analytic findings, implications for the continued use of situational judgment tests are discussed, particularly in terms of recent investigations into tacit knowledge.
尽管情境判断测试在心理评估文献中有着悠久的历史，并且在就业环境中仍被频繁使用，但实际上对这一文献几乎没有进行过总结。本文的目的是回顾此类测试的历史，并呈现一项关于标准关联效度和结构效度的元分析结果。基于102个系数和10640人，情境判断测试显示出具有普遍适用性的有效水平（rho = 0.34）。对涉及16984人的情境判断测试与一般认知能力之间的79个相关性进行的回顾表明，情境判断测试通常显示出与认知能力的关系（rho = 0.46）。基于文献综述和元分析结果，讨论了情境判断测试持续使用的意义，特别是就最近对隐性知识的研究而言。
