“…Third, while situation evaluation contributes to measuring specific traits, ATIC refers to a more general ability to read relevant situational cues (Kleinmann et al, 2011). Indeed, research has shown that ATIC correlates with cognitive ability (Jansen et al, 2013;Melchers et al, 2020) and that ATIC is consistent across predictor methods that measure different trait dimensions (e.g., Kleinmann et al, 2011;Melchers et al, 2020). Thus, by including an ATIC measure in a construct-driven SJT, the SJT can measure 1) response judgment, 2) situation evaluation, and 3) a general ability to correctly decipher situational demands (i.e., ATIC).…”

“…Finally, we contribute to the ATIC literature (Jansen et al, 2013;Kleinmann et al, 2011;Oostrom et al, 2016) by showing that ATIC has more incremental validity over and above response judgment in predicting interpersonal than task performances. Considering that ATIC captures cognitive construal, it shares common variance with cognitive ability (Melchers et al, 2020), which may explain why the incremental validity of ATIC in predicting task performance was further reduced when controlling for a cognitive ability measure (Kleinmann et al, 2011). It could also be that our construct-driven SJT was relatively transparent, which may have limited the variance in ATIC.…”

“…ATIC is measured by presenting the interviewee with the questions after finishing the interview. The interviewee then responds in free text what they think was measured (for an example, see Melchers et al 2020a ). Although ATIC research greatly advanced research on faking, the assessment of ATIC lacks objectivity because ATIC performance is evaluated by human raters (typically rated by independent raters that are not interviewers), and not by veridical, objective response standards.…”

Socio-emotional abilities have been proposed as an extension to models of intelligence, but earlier measurement approaches have either not fulfilled criteria of ability measurement or have covered only predominantly receptive abilities. We argue that faking ability—the ability to adjust responses on questionnaires to present oneself in a desired manner—is a socio-emotional ability that can broaden our understanding of these abilities and intelligence in general. To test this theory, we developed new instruments to measure the ability to fake bad (malingering) and administered them jointly with established tests of faking good ability in a general sample of n = 134. Participants also completed multiple tests of emotion perception along with tests of emotion expression posing, pain expression regulation, and working memory capacity. We found that individual differences in faking ability tests are best explained by a general factor that had a large correlation with receptive socio-emotional abilities and had a zero to medium-sized correlation with different productive socio-emotional abilities. All correlations were still small after controlling these effects for shared variance with general mental ability as indicated by tests of working memory capacity. We conclude that faking ability is indeed correlated meaningfully with other socio-emotional abilities and discuss the implications for intelligence research and applied ability assessment.

“…This study involved three parts: part (1) online questionnaires, part (2) cognitive testing portion, including cognitive testing, and part (3) a simulated job interview, for which participants received personalized feedback as a reimbursement for their participation in this study. Data from the interview are not reported in this manuscript but are reported elsewhere ( Melchers et al 2020 ).…”

“Show Me What You Got”: The Nomological Network of the Ability to Pose Facial Emotion Expressions

Just as receptive emotional abilities, productive emotional abilities are essential for social communication. Although individual differences in receptive emotional abilities, such as perceiving and recognizing emotions, are well-investigated, individual differences in productive emotional abilities, such as the ability to express emotions in the face, are largely neglected. Consequently, little is known about how emotion expression abilities fit in a nomological network of related abilities and typical behavior. We developed a multitask battery for measuring the ability to pose emotional expressions scored with facial expression recognition software. With three multivariate studies (n1 = 237; n2 = 141; n3 = 123), we test competing measurement models of emotion posing and relate this construct with other socio-emotional traits and cognitive abilities. We replicate the measurement model that includes a general factor of emotion posing, a nested task-specific factor, and emotion-specific factors. The emotion-posing ability factor is moderately to strongly related to receptive socio-emotional abilities, weakly related to general cognitive abilities, and weakly related to extraversion. This is strong evidence that emotion posing is a cognitive interpersonal ability. This new understanding of abilities in emotion communication opens a gateway for studying individual differences in social interaction.
