The Situational Interview: Examining What People Say Versus What They Do Versus What They Have Done.

摘要

Two studies were conducted to test the validity of the situational interview. In the first study, a concurrent validity strategy showed that there is a correlation between what people in an interview setting say they do on the job and what they actually do on the job as reported by both peers and supervisors. Furthermore, a situational approach to interviewing appears preferable to asking people direct questions about their past experiences. The second study used a predictive validity strategy to test the theoretical premise of the situational interview, namely, that intentions predict behavior. (Author)
