Briefly describe the evidence on differential validity for men and women.
What will be an ideal response?
Differential validity for men and women also has been examined. Schmitt, Mellon, and Bylenga (1978) examined 6,219 pairs of validity coefficients for males and females (predominantly dealing with educational outcomes) and found that validity coefficients for women were slightly (<.05 correlation units), but significantly larger than coefficients for men. Validities for males exceeded those for women only when predictors were less cognitive in nature, such as high school experience variables.
