Validité prédictiveLa Validité prédictive est un terme utilisé dans l'évaluation des personnes. C'est une qualité psychométrique désignant la capacité d'un outil de mesure à prédire correctement un événement futur. Cette valeur est mesurée par la corrélation entre le prédicteur (un test, un entretien, un outil d'évaluation) et un critère de réussite (professionnel le plus souvent). En matière de recrutement ou de gestion des ressources humaines, les techniques et outils possédant les meilleures validités prédictives sont les suivants: Assessment Centers, questionnaires de personnalité, tests d'aptitudes, prises de références, recommandations, entretiens en face à face.
Content validityIn psychometrics, content validity (also known as logical validity) refers to the extent to which a measure represents all facets of a given construct. For example, a depression scale may lack content validity if it only assesses the affective dimension of depression but fails to take into account the behavioral dimension. An element of subjectivity exists in relation to determining content validity, which requires a degree of agreement about what a particular personality trait such as extraversion represents.
Concurrent validityConcurrent validity is a type of evidence that can be gathered to defend the use of a test for predicting other outcomes. It is a parameter used in sociology, psychology, and other psychometric or behavioral sciences. Concurrent validity is demonstrated when a test correlates well with a measure that has previously been validated. The two measures may be for the same construct, but more often used for different, but presumably related, constructs. The two measures in the study are taken at the same time.
Validity (statistics)Validity is the main extent to which a concept, conclusion or measurement is well-founded and likely corresponds accurately to the real world. The word "valid" is derived from the Latin validus, meaning strong. The validity of a measurement tool (for example, a test in education) is the degree to which the tool measures what it claims to measure. Validity is based on the strength of a collection of different types of evidence (e.g. face validity, construct validity, etc.) described in greater detail below.
Convergent validityConvergent validity, for human cognition, especially within sociology, psychology, and other behavioral sciences, refers to the degree to which two measures that theoretically should be related, are in fact related. Convergent validity, along with discriminant validity, is a subtype of construct validity. Convergent validity can be established if two similar constructs correspond with one another, while discriminant validity applies to two dissimilar constructs that are easily differentiated.
PsychométrieLa psychométrie est la science qui étudie l'ensemble des techniques de mesures pratiquées en psychologie, ainsi que les techniques de validation et d'élaboration de ces mesures. Ces techniques concernent tous les champs de la psychologie, ainsi que d'autres domaines de sciences connexes (comme la recherche en comportement du consommateur par exemple).
