Assessing job applicants' general mental ability online poses psychometric challenges due to the necessity of having brief but accurate tests. Recent research (Myszkowski & Storme, 2018) suggests that recovering distractor information through Nested Logit Models (NLM; Suh & Bolt, 2010) increases the reliability of ability estimates in reasoning matrix-type tests. In the present research, we extended this result to a different context (online intelligence testing for recruitment) and in a larger sample ( N = 2949 job applicants). We found that the NLMs outperformed the Nominal Response Model (Bock, 1970) and provided significant reliability gains compared with their binary logistic counterparts. In line with previous research, the gain in reliability was especially obtained at low ability levels. Implications and practical recommendations are discussed.
由于需要简短而准确的测试,在线评估求职者的一般心理能力存在心理测量学上的挑战。最近的研究(Myszkowski & Storme,2018)表明,通过嵌套逻辑模型(NLM;Suh & Bolt,2010)恢复干扰项信息可以提高推理矩阵类型测试中能力估计的可靠性。在本研究中,我们将这一结果扩展到了不同的情境(招聘在线智力测试)和更大的样本(N = 2949名求职者)。我们发现,嵌套逻辑模型优于名义反应模型(Bock,1970),并且与二元逻辑模型相比,在可靠性方面有显著提高。与先前的研究一致,可靠性的提高尤其在低能力水平上获得。本文讨论了研究结果的意义和实际建议。
