Long-Range Predictive and Differential Validities of the Scholastic Aptitude Test in Medical School.
Peer reviewed
Zeleznik, Carter; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983

Data from students (n=1284) who entered Jefferson Medical College from 1965 through 1974 were analyzed and supported the convergent and divergent validities of the SAT over an extended period of time.

Results for 172 New Zealand college students provide evidence that the measure is better used as a goal specific measure than a general measure. (SLD)

Jagacinski, Carolyn M.; Duda, Joan L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2001
Studied three measures of task and ego achievement goal orientations in terms of factorial and construct validity, internal consistency reliability, and distributional characteristics. Results for 393 undergraduates suggest that the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Survey scales fared better than the other 2 in terms of distributional…
