Salvaging Construct Equivalence Through Equating

Abstract

Turban, Sanders, Frances, and Osburn (1989) provided a two step procedure for selecting a replacement for a current personnel test without an expensive validation study. The two steps are confirmatory factor analysis and impact analysis. It is possible to apply the two step procedure and find that the replacement test is not acceptable. We provide an example of just such a negative outcome that was salvaged by the extra step of equipercentile equating. This step, added to Turban et al., required no additional investment other than an equating analysis on the extant data.
