Abstract
GRIEVE, Rachel and HAYES, Jordana. Employment testing online, offline, and over the phone: implications for e-assessment. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.2, pp.95-101. ISSN 2174-0534. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rpto.2016.04.001.
This research investigated faking across test administration modes in an employment testing scenario. For the first time, phone administration was included. Participants (N = 91) were randomly allocated to testing mode (telephone, Internet, or pen-and-paper). Participants completed a personality measure under standard instructions and then under instructions to fake as an ideal police applicant. No significant difference in any faked personality domains as a function of administration mode was found. Effect sizes indicated that the influence of administration mode was small. Limitations and future directions are considered. Overall, results indicate that if an individual intends to fake on a self-report test in a vocational assessment scenario, the electronic administration mode in which the test is delivered may be unimportant.
