A Test of the Measurement Assumptions Underlying Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales.
Kinicki, Angelo J.; Bannister, Brendan D.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v48 n1 p17-27 Spr 1988
The assumption that behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARSs) developed according to optimal procedures are behaviorally specific was tested. Considerable variation was found in the specificity of the behavioral anchors. A second study found that evaluation of critical incidents was significantly different across rating contexts. BARSs did not satisfy their foundational assumptions. (SLD)
