Question:

An industrial/organizational psychologist developed a personality based measure to assess the integrity of potential job applicants. The measure she developed was intended to mask the purpose of the test from test takers. To examine the validity of the personality-based integrity measure, the psychologist administered the measure to a group of N = 255 individuals. She also administered two additional measures to this same group of individuals: an overt measure of integrity, in which individuals are queried about their actual involvement in theft and dishonest behaviors; and a measure of general cognitive ability. The data are presented in the data file “nomonet.sav.” 

1. What is the expected pattern of relationships among these three measures? Explain. 

2. Is there evidence of convergent validity for the personality-based integrity measure? 

3. Is there evidence of discriminant validity for the personality based integrity measure? 

4. Based on the obtained results, can the psychologist claim that she has established the construct validity of the measure? Explain.
