You want to build a positive, professional relationship with your battalion commander. What should you do? ___ Speak to your battalion commander about his behavior and share your perception of it. ___ Attempt to keep the battalion commander over-informed by telling him what is occurring in your unit on a regular basis (e.g., daily or every other day). ___ Speak to the sergeant major and see if she/he is willing to try to influence the battalion commander. ___ Keep the battalion commander informed only on important issues, but dont bring up issues you dont have to discuss with him. ___ When you bring a problem to your battalion commander, bring a solution at the same time. ___ Disregard the battalion commanders behavior: Continue to bring him news as you normally would. ___ Tell your battalion commander all of the good news you can, but try to shield him from hearing the bad news. ___ Tell the battalion commander as little as possible; deal with problems on your own if at all possible. 28 SJT Development SJT Development 2.

A 75 year old man, who is a heavy smoker, with a blood pressure of 170/105, complains of floaters in the left eye for many months and flashing lights in bright sunlight. He has now noticed a "curtain" across his vision. Situational Judgement Test (SJT) • Professional dilemmas focusing on non-cognitive attributes in complex interpersonal scenarios (empathy, integrity, coping with pressure, teamworking) • Item writing by subject matter experts, concordance panel to agree scoring key • Cognitively-oriented (‘What should you do?’) • Item types: rank 4/5 options, choose best 2/3 • Operational tests comprise 50 items, in 90 minutes Example SJT item You are reviewing a routine drug chart for a patient with rheumatoid arthritis during an overnight shift. You notice that your consultant has inappropriately prescribed methotrexate 7.5mg daily instead of weekly. Rank in order the following actions in response to this situation (1= Most appropriate; 5= Least appropriate) A Ask the nurses if the consultant has made any other drug errors recently B Correct the prescription to 7.5mg weekly C Leave the prescription unchanged until the consultant ward round the following morning D Phone the consultant at home to ask about changing the prescription E Inform the patient of the error 36—37 Predictive Validity Results GP Selection: Validation studies Study 1.

Example UKCAT SJT items A consultation is taking place between a senior doctor and a patient; a medical student is observing. The senior doctor tells the patient that he requires some blood tests to rule out a terminal disease. The senior doctor is called away urgently, leaving the medical student alone with the patient. The patient tells the student that he is worried he is going to die and asks the student what the blood tests will show. How appropriate are each of the following responses by the medical student in this situation? Q1 Explain to the patient that he is unable to comment on what the tests will show as he is a medical student Q2 Acknowledge the patient’s concerns and ask whether he would like them to be raised with the senior doctor Q3 Suggest to the patient that he poses these questions to the senior doctor when he returns Q4 Tell the patient that he should not worry and that it is unlikely that he will die UKCAT SJT Evaluation • Reliability of a 70 item test with similar quality items estimated (α=.75 to .85) • Candidate reactions show high face validity (significantly more than the cognitive subsections of UKCAT) • Content of SJT relevant for med/dental applicants = 70% • Content of the SJT is fair to med/dental applicants = 63% Group differences & content validity • Gender: Females outperform males (0.2 SD) • Ethnicity: White candidates performed better (0.3SD) • Occupation & Employment Status: those in the higher occupational classes (i.e. Managerial/Professional Occupations) do not always score higher than those in lower classes - in some cases those from lowest occupational groups, received the highest mean score. • SJT correlates with other subtests (approx r=0.28) indicating some shared variance between the tests. Since a large amount of variance is not explained, the SJT is assessing different constructs to the other tests. 40—41 Implications for policy & practice • Strong predictive validity translates into significant gains in utility • Focus not on ‘how much validity’ does a selection method add but more ‘valid for what’ • Closer attention to the criterion constructs targeted as high-fidelity simulations show incremental validity over low-fidelity simulations for predicting interpersonal job performance dimensions • Bespoke job analysis is the cornerstone to effective selection • Positive candidate reactions (Patterson et al, 2010) • Political validity is an important concept in this setting (Patterson et al, 2012) Thank you [email protected] Some useful links http://www.workpsychologygroup.com/ http://www.gprecruitment.org.uk/ http://www.isfp.org.uk/ http://www.ukcat.ac.uk/about-the-test/behavioural-test/ http://www.agpt.com.au/ http://www.gmc-uk.org/about/research/14400.asp Evaluations of situational judgments tests for high stakes selection. 42—43 Situational Judgment Test in EPSO open competitions for the European Institutions from 2010 to present. — Mr. Stefan Meyer EPSO (European Personnel Selection Office).

You work as part of a technical support team that produces work internally for an organisation. You have noticed that often work is not performed correctly or a step has been omitted from a procedure. You are aware that some individuals are more at fault than others as they do not make the effort to produce high quality results and they work in a disorganised way. a. Explain to your team why these procedures are important and what the consequences are of not performing these correctly. b. Try to arrange for your team to observe another team in the organisation who produce high quality work. c. Check your own work and that of everyone else in the team to make sure any errors are found. d. Suggest that the team tries many different ways to approach their work to see if they can find a method where fewer mistakes are made.

Selección del MDC • Ajuste relativo: – Una vez seleccionada la Matriz-Q, se comparó el modelo G-DINA con modelos más restrictivos (y parsimoniosos): DINA (no-compensatorio) y DINO (compensatorio). – En la medida en que son modelos anidados, se empleó la razón de verosimilitudes (Likelihood Ratio) para valorar si la pérdida de ajuste al emplear un modelo más sencillo era estadísticamente significativa. Así fue. • Se seleccionó en consecuencia el modelo G-DINA (de la Torre, 2011). 58—59 Estimación de perfiles de competencias • Nº de perfiles posibles: • Los más frecuentes: 2K 26 % 64 Competency 1 2 3 4 5 6 9.46 1 1 0 0 1 1 8.25 1 0 0 0 1 0 8.08 0 1 0 1 0 0 7.93 1 1 1 0 1 1 7.05 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.

Evidencias sobre relaciones con otras variables - Convendría estudiar si proporcionan mejores pronósticos del rendimiento en el trabajo. MUCHAS GRACIAS THANK YOU VERY MUCH 60—61 RESUMEN POSTERS Competencias de empleabilidad: diseño de un test situacional. — Laura Arnau Sabate1, Josefina Sala Roca1, Mercè Jariot2, Teresa Eulalia Marzo3, Adrià Pagès2 RESUMEN Las competencias de empleabilidad son competencias básicas necesarias para obtener y mantener un trabajo independientemente del tipo y sector de ocupación. Son transversales y transferibles a otras situaciones o contextos personales y profesionales. Nuestro grupo ha desarrollado una propuesta de competencias de empleabililidad (autoorganización, contrucción del proyecto formativo-profesional, toma de decisiones y resolución de problemas, trabajo en equipo, comunicación, perseverancia, flexibilidad y responsabilidad) validado por un grupo de expertos en una primera fase (Arnau et al, 2013) y que posteriormente ha sido validado con profesionales de los diferentes sectores económicos de la población (trabajo pendiente de publicación). Se ha diseñado un test situacional a partir de la creación de 5 historias ambientadas en diferentes contextos de la vida cotidiana (de amigos, escolar, familiar, más formales o informales). En estas historias se plantean situaciones a las que el sujeto debe responder como va a actuar frente a esa situación. Estas situaciones requieren de un buen nivel de competencia para ser afrontadas adecuadamente. Se contó con un panel de expertos para la elaboración de las historias y situaciones. Para elaborar las respuestas, se realizaron entrevistas a 115 jóvenes de edades entre 12 y 18 años, que fueron transcritas y sometidas a análisis de contenido. El panel de expertos seleccionó de entre las respuestas dadas 5 respuestas que podrían ser indicadoras de diferentes niveles de competencia y que asimismo asegurarían suficiente variabilidad. Posteriormente otro panel de 11 expertos distintos está validando la asignación de cada una de las situaciones como indicador de las competencias, y en una segunda fase se pedirá a estos expertos que asignen un valor a cada respuesta en función del nivel de competencia. Una vez construido el test será validado para comprobar sus propiedades psicométricas y revisar su estructura interna. 1 2 3 Departament de Pedagogia Sistemàtica i Social. Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Departament de Pedagogia Aplicada. Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Pere Tarrés. Universitat Ramón Llull 62—63 Análisis de la estructura cognitiva del área de habilidades cuantitativas del exhcoba mediante los modelos LLTM y LSDM. — Juan Carlos Pérez Morán1, Norma Larrazolo Reyna y Eduardo Backhoff Escudero Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo Universidad Autónoma de Baja California RESUMEN En el presente estudio se integran aspectos de la psicología cognitiva y la psicometría (Rupp y Mislevy, 2006) para el análisis de la estructura cognitiva del área de Habilidades Cuantitativas (HC) del Examen de Habilidades y Conocimientos Básicos (EXHCOBA) (Backhoff, Tirado, y Larrazolo, 2001), mediante el Linear Logistic Latent Trait Model (en inglés, LLTM) de Fischer (1973, 1997) y el Least Squares Distance Method (en inglés, LDSM) propuesto por Dimitrov (2007). Para alcanzar dicho propósito, un grupo de expertos propuso catorce operaciones para resolver los ítems del área HC apoyándose en los resultados de reportes verbales concurrentes y retrospectivos realizados a un grupo de estudiantes de educación secundaria. Además, se analizó la estructura cognitiva determinada por los expertos y se evaluó la dimensionalidad y el ajuste de los ítems a los modelos Rasch y LLTM. Los resultados mostraron que los datos ajustan moderadamente al modelo LLTM con una matriz Q de catorce atributos y que un refinamiento de las operaciones para resolver los ítems podría explicar mejor sus fuentes de dificultad y el rendimiento de los examinados en la prueba. Además, la aplicación del LSDM mostró que es necesario mejorar la validación de los atributos cognitivos requeridos en la solución de ítems del área de HC del EXHCOBA.

En este trabajo se presenta el diseño, construcción y análisis de un test situacional orientado a la evaluación de esta competencia. En la prueba diseñada el evaluado debe imaginar que forma parte de un equipo de trabajo e interactuar con el resto de componentes a través del correo electrónico. Los diferentes mensajes de correo electrónico que recibe plantean situaciones donde es posible manifestar los diferentes comportamientos asociados a la competencia objeto de medida. Además, el evaluado tiene la posibilidad de enviar mensajes por iniciativa propia. Aplicada a una muestra de 261 profesionales de una entidad financiera de ámbito multinacional los resultados muestran una buena capacidad de discriminación de la prueba y una baja consistencia interna (alpha=.52) -en línea con otros test situacionales-. 64—65 Cheating en administración de Test por Internet. Análisis del Test de Verificación eCat. — David Aguado1, Julio Olea2, Vicente Ponsoda2 y Francisco Abad2 RESUMEN El uso de internet ha modificado en los últimos tiempos las prácticas de reclutamiento y selección desarrolladas por las compañías y es común que tanto el proceso de reclutamiento como los procesos de evaluación inicial se realicen a través de internet en lo que se conoce como Unproctored Internet Testing (UIT). A pesar de las grandes ventajas asociadas al UIT en términos de costes y flexibilidad es una práctica cuanto menos controvertida debido a problemas relacionados con el engaño (cheating). Para controlarlo, la recomendación de la International Test Comission es la de realizar una evaluación en un entorno controlado y comparar las puntuaciones en la condición UIT y la controlada para identificar a las personas que engañan. El objetivo del trabajo que se presenta es analizar los resultados que se obtienen al implantar un procedimiento específico de verificación sobre un Test Adaptativo Informatizado para la evaluación del nivel de inglés: eCat; aplicado en un proceso real de selección de personal. Se evaluó a una muestra de 417 candidatos a puestos de trabajo como ingenieros en una multinacional española del sector energético. Los resultados iniciales muestran como el procedimiento implementado es eficaz en la detección del cheating detectándose que 44 personas (10.55%) habían utilizado algún tipo de ayuda adicional en el entorno UIT. 1 2 Instituto de Ingeniería del Conocimiento Departamento de Psicología Social y Metodología. Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Batería de aptitudes de TEA: Fiabilidad y evidencias de validez. — David Arribas Águila Dpto. de I+D+i de TEA Ediciones RESUMEN El BAT-7 es una nueva batería que permite estimar la inteligencia y evaluar 8 aptitudes cognitivas. Se estructura en 3 niveles de dificultad creciente y está enfocada a la evaluación de escolares, universitarios y adultos. Método: La muestra de tipificación estuvo compuesta por 4.263 escolares y 1.507 adultos con diferente grado de formación. Se ha utilizado un modelo logístico unidimensional de 3 parámetros y se ha estudiado el ajuste mediante los residuos estandarizados y el estadístico chi-cuadrado. La fiabilidad se ha analizado utilizando el coeficiente alfa ordinal y las funciones de información. Para el estudio de la validez se desarrolló un modelo AFC multigrupo. Resultados: El modelo TRI de 3 parámetros mostró un adecuado ajuste en todos los ítems. Los valores de fiabilidad oscilaron entre 0,79 y 0,91 para los tests y entre 0,91 y 0,97 para los índices de inteligencia. El modelo estructural basado en la teoría CHC presentó un buen ajuste a los datos empíricos. Discusión: El BAT-7 supone una medida informativa y altamente fiable para la evaluación de las aptitudes cognitivas. Igualmente, mediante su aplicación puede obtenerse una estimación bastante razonable de la capacidad general (g), de la inteligencia fluida (Gf) y de la inteligencia cristalizada (Gc).

Ely Iglesias, Francisco Álvarez y Luis Picazo Grupo de Trabajo de Buenas Prácticas en Reclutamiento y Selección del Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid RESUMEN En este estudio se presentan los resultados de una encuesta realizada por el Grupo de Trabajo de Buenas Prácticas en Reclutamiento y Selección del Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid. Su principal objetivo es el de clarificar el papel de los psicólogos en materia de Reclutamiento y Selección, tanto en los departamentos de Recursos Humanos como en las consultoras que prestan servicios en esta área. Para el estudio se seleccionaron 129 empresas, entre las que se encontraban las del IBEX35 y otras representativas de los diferentes sectores de actividad, así como las consultoras más relevantes. La tasa de respuesta fue del 29,2% Los resultados indican que la mayoría de los responsables de reclutamiento y selección son psicólogos (65,8%) y que sigue siendo la titulación preferida a la hora de incorporar profesionales que se dediquen a esta actividad. La participación de los psicólogos es relevante en todas las fases del proceso de R&S: en la clarificación de la demanda (76,3%), en la elaboración del perfil de exigencias (84,2%), en el reclutamiento y captación de candidatos (89,5%) y en la preselección de candidatos (92,1%). En la fase de evaluación, los psicólogos son los principales responsables de evaluar inteligencia, aptitudes, personalidad y competencias (81,6%), de la elaboración de informes (89,5%) y participan en la toma de decisiones sobre el candidato elegido (76,3%). Su involucración es algo menor en los seguimientos de la incorporación (57,9%), desvinculación o salida (28, 9%) y en la auditoria del proceso (44,7%). En cuanto a las técnicas utilizadas, la mayoría (73,7%) utilizan test psicológicos. El póster ofrecerá otras informaciones recogidas en la encuesta. ¿Cómo puntuar las diferentes opciones en un ítem de un test situacional?. — Miguel Ángel Sorrel1, Francisco José Abad1, Vicente Ponsoda1, Julio Olea1, Juan Francisco Riesco2, Maria Luisa Vidania2 RESUMEN Mientras que en los test de habilidad cognitiva está claro cuál de las opciones a un ítem es la correcta, en los test de juicio situacional a menudo no existe una alternativa objetivamente correcta, de tal manera que varias de las opciones pueden resultar plausibles. Esto hace necesario el desarrollo de procedimientos de asignación de puntuaciones. En el presente estudio se han generado dos alternativas a la propuesta original para valorar las respuestas al Test de integridad de Becker (Becker, 2005). Se tradujo la prueba al castellano y se aplicó a una muestra de 182 personas. Para comprobar la validez convergente y discriminante del test, se aplicaron también medidas de los cinco rasgos básicos de personalidad (NEO-FFI), la escala de deseabilidad social de Marlowe y Crowne (SDS) y un cuestionario de Integridad construido al efecto. Los resultados indican que las dos puntuaciones alternativas dan lugar a mejores propiedades psicométricas en lo referido a fiabilidad y validez. 1 Universidad Autónoma de Madrid 2 Gabinete Psicopedagógico de la Academia de Policía Local de la Comunidad de Madrid. 68—69 NOTAS 70—71 72—73 http://www.iic.uam.es/catedras/map
