Summary
This study proposes a construct-oriented approach to integrity tests, defining integrity as behavior. It applies this to military codes of conduct for better assessment development.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Psychology
- Personnel Selection
- Military Psychology
Background:
- Integrity tests are increasingly used in personnel selection.
- A key criticism of integrity tests is their criterion-focused nature.
- A construct-oriented approach is needed for test development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a construct-oriented approach for integrity tests.
- To conceptualize integrity as a behavior with defined elements.
- To apply this conceptualization to the military context.
Main Methods:
- Conceptualizing integrity based on definitional elements: nature of standards and their referent.
- Conducting a content analysis of high-level codes of conduct from 13 military nations.
- Discussing the operationalization of integrity for assessment.
Main Results:
- Integrity is conceptualized as a behavior, focusing on standards and referents.
- A framework for defining and assessing integrity in a military context is illustrated.
- Considerations for assessment development are highlighted.
Conclusions:
- A construct-oriented approach offers a more robust foundation for integrity test development.
- Defining integrity as behavior with specific elements aids in operationalization.
- This approach is particularly relevant for specialized contexts like the military.
