A cognitive evaluation of frame-of-reference rater training: content and process issues

Article Abstract:

A relationship exists between content and process issues in rater training research. The content of an employee's performance theory and its agreement with the performance theory learned in training, significantly affects ratings and appraisals. Cognition involved in frame-of-reference training causes representational content, which in turn also affects other processes such as interpersonal interactions and communications. Process issues cannot be separated from content issues in performance evaluation.

Information redundancy and decision behavior: a process tracing investigation

Article Abstract:

A study exploring the effects of information redundancy on a process-tracing decision task was conducted on 140 undergraduate psychology students. Information redundancy was found to have direct and indirect effects on decision behavior. Results indicate that search behavior is directly affected by reduction in independent dimensions. Indirectly, information redundancy may cause subjects to classify the information as inconsistent.

Likability and similarity as potential sources of predictor-related criterion bias in validation research

Article Abstract:

The effects of likability and similarity on how federal investigative employees are rated are further tested by ratings gathered from interview, simulation and performance assessments. By getting initial ratings from supervisors, the employees were subjected to skill evaluation by another panel. Likability and similarity manifested their criterion-bias effects on predictors in the interview and simulation activities.
