Annotated Bibliography of Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Validity Studies

Abstract

This Annotated Bibliography was compiled from published and unpublished research reports documenting the validity of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Studies were included in this bibliography if they provided empirical evidence of the validity of the ASVAB through some statistically testable indication of the validity of the battery--such as the Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The only exceptions to this criterion for inclusion were studies which provided direct evidence of the construct validity of the battery through factor analytic methods and results. Studies from all four of the Armed Services, the Department of Defense, and civilian professional literature were reviewed for inclusion in the bibliography of 173 studies and reports. The bibliography has a cross-referenced subject index and author index and covers a period from 1968 to 1989. Keywords: Aptitude tests, Classification, Enlisted personnel, Selection, Test construction, Validation.
