Abstract

It was nice to see a step back from the inflated validities (e.g., Sackett, Zhang, Berry, & Lievens, 2022) promoted by many meta-analysts. Still, the use of corrected validities for purposes of selection is a dubious practice. Although the mistake of correcting for range restriction of unrestricted samples is now apparent, other problems—both technical and legal—still abound. I briefly review works (most of which are more than 40 years old) that describe these challenges. I then provide suggestions for practitioners and researchers. Ultimately, the quote from Robert Fulghum seems appropriate: “Anything not worth doing is worth not doing well.”

Hocus-pocus和水力学功能：任何不值得做的事情都不值得做好

很高兴看到许多元分析师推崇的夸大效度(例如Sackett, Zhang, Berry， & Lievens, 2022)退后一步。然而，为了选择的目的而使用修正效度是一种可疑的做法。尽管纠正非限制样品范围限制的错误现在很明显，但其他技术和法律问题仍然比比皆是。我简要地回顾一下描述这些挑战的作品(其中大多数都是40多年前的作品)。然后，我为从业者和研究人员提供建议。最后，Robert Fulghum的一句话似乎是恰当的:“任何不值得做的事情都值得不做好。”

期刊介绍： ACS Chemical Biology provides an international forum for the rapid communication of research that broadly embraces the interface between chemistry and biology. The journal also serves as a forum to facilitate the communication between biologists and chemists that will translate into new research opportunities and discoveries. Results will be published in which molecular reasoning has been used to probe questions through in vitro investigations, cell biological methods, or organismic studies. We welcome mechanistic studies on proteins, nucleic acids, sugars, lipids, and nonbiological polymers. The journal serves a large scientific community, exploring cellular function from both chemical and biological perspectives. It is understood that submitted work is based upon original results and has not been published previously.
